About the Network

We are a friendly, member-driven network of lawyers in New York who have qualified, trained, or practiced in the UK. We host talks, meet-ups, panels, and networking events.

We hope to provide opportunities for connection amongst UK lawyers in New York, deepen relations between the English and American legal systems and promote English law and the English legal system in New York.
