The Global Law Summit: a networking event like no other

The Global Law Summit (GLS), the world-class international legal and business event being held in London between 23 and 25 February 2015, will be a networking event like no other. Bringing together 2,000 delegates from law firms, governments, and business, as well as in-house general counsel and legal academics from around the world, the three-day summit will enable all attending to mix in a variety of settings, fitted to their particular purpose.

 

Seek out new ideas

The Global Law Summit will include three days of sessions which have been designed to champion legal and business innovation. Delivered in a mix of plenary, keynote, panel and workshop sessions, focused on the rule of law and its fundamental role in global business, government and society, they will allow delegates to expand their horizons and debate on key issues with peers and experts alike.

The four key themes of the sessions will be:
Driving economic growth through the rule of law.

1. Law at the heart of 21st century business.

2. Magna Carta principles and modern world solutions.

3. Law as the foundation of a strong and prosperous society.

• Government ministers and senior officials will consider how their countries’ goals are dependent on a cutting-edge understanding of the contemporary rule of law debate, and look at how their decisions will affect the global legal, business and political landscape.
