This event attracted 600 solicitors and barristers to London’s newest and most impressive conference facility “The Light” at Friends House. We were delighted to be able to offer 50 free tickets to trainee solicitors and pupil barristers from criminal firms and chambers across the UK to attend our London Heavyweight Autumn Crime Conference. This conference also donated £1000 to St Mungo’s street living homeless outreach team.
