Description
Our hot topics round tables are designed to be interactive and will host a series of tables where we will discuss ‘late breaking’ topics in the areas of international commerce, trade, franchising and product law. The topics are selected to be of current interest and likely to stimulate discussion and debate. Moderators at each table introduce and briefly discuss the table topic and then participants weigh in with their views. You have the opportunity to discuss three topics. We have scheduled turnover times when the participants change tables to move to the next topic of their choice. By participating in the table discussions, you gain a greater insight into these areas and the other participants and table moderators benefit from your comments. In a final wrap-up afterwards for all participants the moderators share the highlights of their tables. The session provides you with a great opportunity to meet many other lawyers and discuss topics of mutual interest with them. Many times at our session, participants meet lawyers from other countries who they keep in touch with for years to come. Every year our table moderators comment that they ‘learnt as much or more’ from the table participants as they themselves conveyed.
