Kim Larkin was delighted to represent Charltons at the Legalink Global Network of Independent Law Firms Spring General Meeting in Budapest hosted for a second time by Budapest member firm Szecskay Attorneys at Law.
As always at Legalink general meetings, the hosts organised a fascinating line-up of speakers: Mishcon’s Nick West spoke on AI in legal practice; Dr. Reka Szemerkenyi delivered a thought-provoking talk on geopolitics and economics; and Fruzsina Tari, Head of Legal at 4iG Space and Defence Plc, and Balazs Bartok-Gonczy PhD, Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of the Institute of Aerospace and Telecommunications Law at Ludovika University of Public Service, discussed space and defence law including the extraterritorial reach of the EU Space Act.
