English Law Week Final Programme
We believe that, given the increasing amount of legal business transacted between Russia and
England, it is of enormous benefit for our jurisdictions to have regular bilateral events for leading
practitioners of commercial law, strengthening both legal learning as well as professional and
personal relationships. English Law Week in Moscow alternates year on year with its twin event,
Russian Law Week, which will take place in London in 2016.
We hope you enjoy this important legal event and take the opportunity to meet new colleagues
and old friends.
Speakers:
John Lindfield, Head of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) Russia
