Howard Kennedy is proud to announce that the London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA) has appointed Nikki Edwards, a partner in the Commercial Dispute Resolution team, as its new President. Nikki succeeds Nicholas Heaton and is set to lead the association for a two-year term.
The LSLA represents over 3,500 civil and commercial litigators who practice litigation in London. With a rich 70-year history, members from diverse legal backgrounds collaborate to help shape civil justice reform and promote best practices in dispute resolution.
