In the beautiful and historical town of Thessaloniki, capital of Greek Macedonia, the perfectly organised PEOPIL Occupational Health & RTA Conference could be nothing more than another successful event. Highly ranked and accredited in their field professors, attorneys and technical experts, mainly from Europe but also from other parts of the world, formed a very strong team of panelists and speakers, while all participants were warmly welcomed by the Athens and Thessaloniki Bar Association representatives, as per the well known Greek hospitality.
International Aviation: Liability, Insurance & Finance

After a pause of over two years due to covid the long-awaited conference was indeed a great success.

That seminar included a much appreciated visit to Airbus and their 380 assembly plant.
New Lawyers Group Conference

Our New Lawyers Group conference in Edinburgh was held on 3 March. The speaker line up was phenomenal and the venue was the breathtaking Signet Library. We were very fortunate to have Digby Brown Solicitors as our main sponsor and help us with the organisation.
