We'd be delighted if you could join us for an in-depth seminar on competition and regulatory developments affecting the sector across the EU.
The seminar will be presented by a team from across Bird & Bird's European offices, and is designed for in-house lawyers, sales teams, product development teams and related business professionals.
We'll ensure plenty of time for Q&A and discussion, and please do stay for our networking get-together afterwards.
