We come and talk about it
once we have done it.

Talks, panels, moderation and editorial formats on how legal work is changing. What we say comes out of engagements, not out of a market survey.

What sets the price

What sets the price
  • The format and the length.
  • Preparation time, and how much is written for your audience.
  • Travel.
  • The audience we speak to.

No list price. Some speaking slots are accepted without a fee when the subject or the audience warrants it: tell us what you are organising and we will answer on that point too.

Running an event?

Tell us the date, the audience and the subject you have in mind. If it is not our subject, we say so in one sentence.
