Global Law Summit

18 September 2014

 

(B) Global Law Summit

 

It is proposed that the City of London Corporation hosts a reception on 24th February 2015 as part of the programme for delegates attending the Global Law Summit in London.

 

The Global Law Summit is an international legal conference taking place from 23rd - 25th February 2015 at the QEII Conference Centre. The Summit, celebrating 800 years of Magna Carta and the rule of law, is expected to attract over 2,000 delegates, speakers and guests from across the world and will serve to promote London and the UK as a global centre for legal services. Speakers will include chairmen and general counsel from leading British and international companies, members of the senior judiciary and representatives from the Bar and major law firms. It will be the first such conference to take place in London.

 

We recommend that hospitality be granted in the form of a reception and that arrangements be made under the auspices of the Policy and Resources Committee; the cost to be met from City’s Cash and within the approved cost parameters.

 

This would be a Full Court event.
