Just Launched – the Legal Forum
We are delighted to announce the recent launch of our Legal Forum, the first session of which took place on 7 February. The aim of this forum is to foster exchange and co-operation between General Counsels/Heads of Legal Departments and Senior Representatives of law firms; to encourage debate on current legal issues and to deliver a programme of activities that mobilise and attract Chamber members as well as key players of the legal community.
The Forum is co-chaired by Olivier Morel, Partner and Head of International Corporate Investment at Cripps Harries Hall and Michael Butcher who has had a long in-house legal career with Exxon, Eurotunnel and latterly General Counsel and Company Secretary of Veolia Environment UK for over 17 years.
