Covid update for our live events – As the United Kingdom begins to ease the Covid restrictions, we are hopeful of resuming live events later this year. We hope that LBCambridge will run in September and that this will mark the start of a new full programme of events.

Thank you for all your messages of support and encouragement. We will update our website and include full details as soon as we know we can take bookings again.

In the meantime we will shortly have some really exciting plans to share when we will be announcing a new way of working with us that means we can offer year round and continuous development and support for in-house lawyers everywhere.

Please take care and I hope to see you soon. Paul xx
