TESTIMONIALS
"Just a quick note to say that the conference today was excellent with a great agenda and a fantastic set of GC’s that helped project very clearly the voice of the client. Well done to the whole team for putting on a very well organised day."
Nick Lakhani, finance director, ASB Law
"We have to be hugely selective when it comes to our participation in anything and Briefing Operational Leaders in Legal remains consistently within the top three events that are a must for us to do. For us it delivers on all levels; the seniority of the delegates, the calibre of the content and the opportunity to put us at the forefront of the people who matter in legal is unrivalled."
Peter Gill, director of sales - EMEA, Thomson Reuters Elite
"Thanks for hosting a great, insightful and eye-opening day, thoroughly enjoyed it."
Steffen Kroh, interim head of projects – business services IT, DAC Beachcroft LLP - Bristol
