We were delighted to welcome 30 members of the Afghan Judiciary and other Afghan legal professionals to our London office this week. We were both moved and inspired by their courage and determination. We very much look forward to working with our colleagues in the UK legal community to help these talented individuals to continue their legal training and careers here. We also continue to help others who remain in Afghanistan and other third countries who wish to relocate to the UK.

Thank you to all of our guests, including the UK Association of Women Judges, International Bar Association's Human Rights Institute, Garden Court Chambers, Wilsons Solicitors, Mishcon de Reya LLP
