Quebec House to host Bijuralism and Bilingualism à la canadienne!

Posted in Conferences, News by

Following my taster post last week, I have the greatest pleasure in announcing that « Common Law in French and Civil Law in English – Bijuralism and Bilingualism à la canadienne! » will be hosted by Quebec House, the Quebec Government Office in Pall Mall, London, UK.

The seminar on Monday 6 February 2017, which follows the conference #W2D2017 Legal Translation to the Next Level, will start at 12.30 pm and end, after time for Q&A, at 2.30 pm.

This should enable conference delegates, should they wish to do so, to fly out later that afternoon and avoid the costs of an extra night in London.

canada_flag_map-svgInspired by a suggestion from one of the first participants to register, who explained that conference participants from outside the UK might like to extend their visit to London and maximise the use of their travel costs, we are now able to announce that #W2D2017 will be preceded and followed by two/three standalone legal translation events.
