The Commercial Litigators Forum

The Commercial Litigators' Forum ("CLF") was established in early July 2002 by a number of leading dispute resolution practices. It has representatives from all the principal litigation practices participating in its activities. Please contact katie.johnston@sjberwin.com.

Aims

• Improve and promote social interaction between professional colleagues;
  
  
• Encourage the informal discussion of litigation related issues affecting the legal profession and the court system;
  
  
• Produce discussion papers and initiatives on litigation related matters of interest affecting the legal profession and the court system;
  
  
• Set up channels of communication with the judiciary;    
  Work in conjunction with other established bodies such as the London Solicitors Litigation Association, the Commercial Court Users Group and the International Bar Association.

Structure

The CLF operates through an informal structure with regular meetings at which events are planned and programmes organised. Law firms are kept in contact through e-mail and the Forum is open to new initiatives or lawyers who wish to become further involved in the management of the organisation.
