A Telford law firm has taken part in an international assembly
of lawyers in London.
Martin-Kaye LLP Solicitors, of Euston Way, is a founder member
of the IAG organisation, which gives professional firms from all
over the world the opportunity to network and share business
ideas.
Senior Partner, Graham Davies, said: "It was great to be able to
take part in an IAG meeting in the UK, as it's a rare opportunity
to bring members from far and wide to this country.
"The meetings are held all over Europe, and are an invaluable
way to cement our relationships with international lawyers.
"Many of our Shropshire clients have increasing business
interests overseas and often require legal support in the most
unusual places - currently we have local businesses with issues in
Holland, the USA, India, China, Italy and Australia.
"By joining forces with other members of the IAG organisation,
we can call on support wherever our clients need it."
During the two-day event, Graham also took part in a
presentation about dispute resolution in the UK and the cost
implications of taking proceedings in the UK.
The assembly was held over the same weekend as the Royal Parks
Half Marathon and the IAG organisation entered an 15-strong team of
runners, including Martin-Kaye's Louise Clowes.
"We took part in the Corporate Challenge, which requires each
runner in a team to complete the full race distance of 13.1 miles -
the times of the fastest six team members are then added together
to find the fastest team.
"I finished in just over one hour 52 minutes, raising £150
for the PDSA, and our team finished in 36th place out of 85
teams.
"We were really grateful for the support of the crowd,
particularly the other IAG members who had been attending workshops
and seminars, and who came out onto the Embankment to cheer us
on."
