Global law firms set for conference

Lawyers from around the world are set discuss a range of topical legal subjects at a two-day gathering in Birmingham next week.

Issues such as litigation, life sciences, data protection, gas and oil, and international arbitration will all come under the microscope next Thursday and Friday (May 21-22).

First Law International, the Brussels-based high-end legal network, is bringing members to Birmingham for its yearly spring conference, which will provide seminars on legal trends and networking opportunities.

More than 40 premier law bodies, VIPs and clients from the Middle-East, Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe will attend the event, which is co-staged by two partners from First Law International.

India-based Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co and UK-based Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co are the co-hosts.

On Thursday, the latter's offices will stage the conference, while a networking launch is being held on Friday in the Council House Banqueting Suite free of charge.

Companies who want to know more about exports are being invited to register their interest to attend.

Amarchand & Mangaldas & Suresh A Shroff & Co senior partners, Shardul and Pallavi Shroff will be among the event's key speakers.
