Opportunity to meet with lawyers from Barbados, Malaysia, Pakistan, Rwanda and Zimbabwe on UK visit

The International Division is offering corporate members with interests in Barbados, Malaysia, Pakistan, Rwanda and Zimbabwe the opportunity to meet senior lawyers from each jurisdiction whilst they are in the UK on a Law Society programme. The programme, which runs until March 5th, is for representatives from the national bar associations in each country to learn about the representation and regulation of the solicitors' profession in England and Wales. As part of their visit, we are setting up meetings with corporate International Division members who have interests in these markets.
