Welcome from Fergus Randolph QC, Circuit Leader

The European Circuit is for all advocates delivering and developing our cross-border practices.

The Circuit brings together barristers practising European law (in its broadest sense) and barristers working in Europe, as well as European and international lawyers with a connection to the UK. Members also include UK solicitors and in-house counsel dealing with EU law.

At our regular events we debate law and practice in the ever-changing international context. Hosted in major European cities, these events offer the perfect opportunity for regional and international advocates to come together.

The Circuit brings real benefit to all advocates with cross-border practices in these exciting times - we look forward to welcoming you as a member.
