Report:

As part of an ongoing gathering of selected Oxford Law Alumni based in New York City, Nick Segal and Genevieve Muinzer hosted a lunchtime discussion at Davis Polk Wardwell on Monday, 3 April 2006 . Professor Ewan McKendrick and Nick Segal opened the discussion with an overview of some of the differences between English and US commercial law.

The gathering allowed an active discussion which opened up to a hearty exchange about international law and the types of Oxford Law lectures, seminars or events that should take place in the future in the States. Oxford Law Alumni from six other firms were present to share their experiences and views while offering suggestions of further international interaction.

Oxford law alumni who would like to be invited to future events or who have any suggestions for other events should contact the Director of Development for the Law Faculty, Maureen O'Neill.
