Lewis Silkin was delighted to host its first Dublin LS Mixer @ 6 this month for in-house counsel working in the creative, innovative and brand centric sectors in Ireland. The mixer is an opportunity for in-house counsel to hear from Lewis Silkin on the burning issues in their industry but also (and more importantly) to network and benchmark with fellow in-house counsel.

Topics covered at the first mixer included learnings on GDPR from the ICO applicable to Ireland, the priorities for the DPC in the next 12 months and the dreaded 'b' word - Brexit! Held in the funky penthouse in the Dean Hotel the mixer was certainly a success. 

LS Mixer @ 6, Dublin will be hosted again in the near future so if you or a colleague are interested in attending get in touch with events@lewissilkin.com.
