We had a fantastic day at this year's GLD Trade Law Conference, with the theme 'New Beginnings: Towards Free and Fair International Trade'. Many thanks to the Attorney General and all our other eminent and inspiring speakers. Great to keep building HMG’s trade law community!
The Attorney General delivered the keynote speech today at the government’s Trade Law Conference, where he thanked government lawyers for their work in helping to secure important trade deals for the UK and spoke about the exciting opportunities for Global Britain ahead.
