WELCOME TO BLD'S NEWSLETTER

Welcome to our June 2006 newsletter. We are very excited that in our third month of existence, the world's (and also the the UK's) largest law firm, Clifford Chance LLP are the sponsors of our next London event on the 5th October 2006. On the 23rd May 2006 we had our highly successful first network event sponsored by Herbert Smith LLP - the feedback from the attendees has been very positive. We are not resting on our laurels however, and are preparing for the our next event in Birmingham on the 13th July which is sponsored by Wragge & Co LLP (read more about them below).
