The conference will be opened by the head of the Commercial Court and there will be an afternoon address from The Rt.Hon. Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury.  The programme maximises the opportunity for delegates to choose topics of interest by having a mixture of parallel breakout sessions, panel discussion and keynotes.  Last year there were over 200 delegates from private practice and in house.  There will also be an option to hear speakers from Moscow and New York.
