Two colleagues at Thames Valley law firm Blandy & Blandy have returned from a three-day conference held in New York City.

Chairman and partner Nick Burrows, in the firm’s Corporate and Commercial team, and Katja Wigham, a partner in the Commercial Property team, attended the Law Firm Network’s annual global conference, hosted by American member firm Brown Rudnick, the event coinciding with Brown Rudnick’s 75th anniversary.

Blandy & Blandy is the UK member of the Network, which brings together 50 independent law firms based worldwide, having joined in 2014 and hosted the European Conference in the Thames Valley in 2016.

The firm advises clients based internationally with interests in the UK, and is able to refer its own clients with overseas interests to like-minded firms around the world.

Areas of focus at the Conference included meetings of various practice groups, including M&A, Insolvency and Restructuring, Real Estate, IT and Emerging Technologies, Litigation and arbitration and Private Client. There were also several fascinating panel sessions hosted by Brown Rudnick partners covering matters as diverse as Impact Litigation, Brand and Reputation Management and Diversity, Pro Bono work and Diversity & Inclusion in Law Firms.

Nick Burrows said: “Our warm thanks to Brown Rudnick and to everyone who presented and participated in a very engaging and enjoyable Conference. We were reminded of what a fantastic city New York is thanks to the excellent programme prepared by our hosts and the Conference provided an important opportunity to continue to develop lasting relationships with our fellow member firms.”
