Stand by for more details coming soon. 

 

We are fortunate to have a number of leading firms/Chambers, consultancies and universities based in and around the region. Bristol is also the home of the Environment Agency’s head office. As a result, our membership is drawn from a wide and diverse base, all of whom are very welcome to attend our regular events.  We also host video-links of national events.

About our Group

In addition to being the home of the pasty, cream tea and arguably the best cider in the country, the South-West also boasts an extremely active UKELA regional group! The group is represented by a committee, which is chaired by Steve Lavington (Burges Salmon LLP Bristol) and Caroline Bush (Osborne Clarke).

Contact the convenors if you would like to join the group.
