@BethJForrester @TheLawSociety @legalcheek @JuniorLawyers First I’ve heard of it, which is odd as I was the President of the nearest local law society to TLS. Some gaps in the communication for sure.

[Matthew Allan @MatthewJ_Allan]

Looking forward moderating this excellent panel of speakers on cross-border enforcement in #litigation and #arbitration !

Thanks for the hospitality! I know the @CWHLawSociety delegation had a great time and particularly enjoyed learning more about the cross-border work we can do together.

Delighted to have met up, last week at @ICABarcelona, with a delegation of wonderful lawyers from @CWHLawSociety and to have participated in this #LegalLink shedding light on family law in #Spain.

@Dawson_Cornwell @CWHLawSociety Great to have @FeliciaSenior along with @CWHLawSociety for our delegation to @ICABarcelona. It was an excellent chance to meet #Spanish #lawyers and build our international network for the benefit of our clients.

[Matthew Allan @MatthewJ_Allan]

It was great for @CWHLawSociety to have @FeliciaSenior along with us to visit @ICABarcelona. An excellent opportunity for us to strengthen our #lawyer links with one of our longest twinned bar associations.
