Iran Risk Business Briefing

Event Review

Some 140 delegates packed into London's Law Society to hear specialist speakers discuss Iran's political and risk situation on May 16.

The event was extremely timely and generated much questioning and discussion on the Iranian political leadership and hierarchy, the nuclear stand-off with the US, trade risks and opportunities and legal issues of doing business in Iran.

Delegate comments:

Well planned and extremely topical in light of current events.
