The event will feature a keynote address from former England rugby coach Sir Clive Woodward. More than 80 global law firm leaders and general counsel have been involved in creating the event, including Ashurst managing partner Paul Jenkins, Macfarlanes senior partner Charles Martin and Dentons global chief executive Elliott Portnoy.
