ABOUT US

The London Legal Networking Group (LLNG) is a group comprising of Barristers, Solicitors, Paralegals, Clerks, Court staff, as well as other legal professionals from across the legal sector.

 

It is dedicated to bring people together from all sectors of the legal industry, to meet and have fun in a relaxed, informal environment. With too much communication being by email and phone in today's modern working environment, we hope that this group will give the opportunity for legal professionals to meet up and build effective relationships on a more personal level.


The group was established in January 2014 in that time membership has exceeded 1000 legal professionals. Since the group was set up Sam Collins (Cornerstone Barristers), Liam Trueman (Anthony Gold) and Callum Clark (St.Philips) have formed the committe to assist with the development of the group and the organisation of the events.

 

In February 2018 the LLNG added Elliott Rogers (ABC Chambers Solutions), Tala Teymoori (Jamieson Alexander) and James P Sutherland (Grant Thornton UK) to the committee to help to continue to grow the group following membership growth.
