A Life in the Law: Home and Away
Law Society of Singapore Biennial Lecture 2009
The Law Society is proud to present our Biennial Lecture on Friday, 10 July 2009, 7pm, at the
Supreme Court Auditorium.
At this second Biennial Lecture, we are honoured to have The Right Honourable Lord Peter Goldsmith, Queen’s Counsel, Privy Counsellor, as guest speaker.
A leading barrister specialising principally in commercial, corporate and international litigation and appellate work, Lord Goldsmith became Queen’s Counsel in 1987 at the early age of 37. Consistently acknowledged for his prominence,
American Lawyer hailed him as having ‘the advocacy skills of one of the finest barristers of his generation.’ He served as Attorney-General from 2001–2007, acting as chief legal adviser to the government on matters of domestic, European and international law and represented the government in numerous cases in the UK and international courts. Lord Goldsmith joined Debevoise as European Chair of Litigation in September 2007 and is now based in the London office. Click

The Lecture promises to be inspiring and thought-provoking for legal practitioners, particularly at a time when economic and professional challenges lie ahead.
