Lectures & Seminars

 

Members of chambers regularly deliver lectures and participate in workshops at conferences, seminars and at in-house events arranged by client firms. The activity is positively encouraged by Chambers which regards it as an important and mutually beneficial aspect of Chambers’ practice.
