World’s leading lawyers head to Birmingham for showcase conference

The prestigious Eurojuris International Congress will bring legal experts drawn from more than 600 firms to the heart of Birmingham to discuss the region’s industrial strength and growth agenda.

Leading Midlands’ law firm FBC Manby Bowdler, which is co-hosting the event with legal firm VWV, from October 10-13 and says it is a real feather in Birmingham’s cap.

FBC Manby Bowdler Partner, and Eurojuris board member, Charlotte Clode, said the event’s theme, Industrial Strength and Golden Ambition: Embracing Change in Birmingham, was timely.

“We’re delighted to be bringing lawyers from up to 50 countries to Birmingham this year, especially given the region’s ambitions for transformation under a new West Midlands Mayor and a new Industrial Strategy on its way this autumn.

“The work Eurojuris does across the globe and with each other is hugely respected and highly important to our clients. It means we can deliver local representation almost anywhere in the world, with all the benefits that detailed knowledge of different legal systems brings for our clients.

“To be able to host the international conference – the network’s most prestigious event – here in the Midlands is something we are delighted to have been able to bring about. It is a fantastic opportunity for Birmingham and the wider region to show what it has to offer as well as an excellent opportunity for sharing knowledge and insight for the lawyers involved.”

The conference will be centred on the Hyatt Regency Hotel and feature a range of talks, practice group sessions, networking opportunities, a gala dinner and visits to some of the region’s leading attractions such as the Black Country Living Museum.

FBC Manby Bowdler’s association with Eurojuris was strengthened last year when commercial litigation partner Charlotte was appointed to the Board of Directors.

Named Modern Law Awards Lawyer of the Year in 2020, Charlotte has a strategic remit of communications and social media with Eurojuris and has played a key role in bringing the international event to Birmingham.

She said: “FBC Manby Bowdler has developed a global proposition for our clients utilising the Eurojuris network and bringing the conference to the UK is a significant achievement for us.

“For leading lawyers from all over the world to be able to see what this region offers – and deepen their contacts with both ourselves and each other – can only help strengthen our offer for the future.”
