TD&A NEWS: Participation at ELG Meeting held in Valletta

Advocates, Tanti-Dougall & Associates have hosted the European Law Group [ELG] Meeting held on 8 -9 November, 2019 in Valletta, Malta.

The agenda for the meeting included issues on GDPR and e-commerce law. As is expected during the ELG Meetings, the participants brought with them a wealth of personal experience from their respective jurisdictions thereon.

However, that idea eventually expanded to providing legal assistance to clients even beyond Europe in the many jurisdictions around the globe, through a network of law firms in United States, Africa, Central and South America, Australia, Central and Eastern Europe as well as the Middle and the Far East.
