Attendees of the meeting were the BHBPA members, made up of approximately 300 local companies generating an estimated £2Billion in annual turnover.

The presentation focused on the ACUMEN BUSINESS LAW story and the undertaking to become a leading law firm different to any other Law Firm one has come across to date.
