The PEOPIL Annual New Lawyers’ Group (NLG) Conference is a two-day event held in a different member country each year and will be taking place in Krakow, Poland this year. The NLG was established with a clear focus on young colleagues and their specific aims and interests, serving as an “entrance door” for young lawyers to help put them into contact with the rest of PEOPIL.

Outer Temple’s Travel Law maestro, Ian Denham, is a member of the PEOPIL General Board as representative for England & Wales and is also Secretary of the PEOPIL RTA & Whiplash EEG.
