About: The River Group
The River Group is made up of employment and partnership specialists from law firms across London who have pooled their energies to put on market-leading training and updates for private practice employment and partnership lawyers. The goal of The River Group is to provide training and legal updates, given by high profile speakers from a range of employment and partnership specialist chambers.
The seminars are aimed at private practice employment and partnership lawyers based in firms near the London Bridge area.
We are currently working on our seminar schedule for 2020/21.

When possible seminars will take place at Winckworth Sherwood’s offices located at Minerva House, 5 Montague Close, London SE1 9BB . Until then we will host sessions online.
We do not intend to charge for these seminars. Rather, we want this to be an opportunity for employment and partnership lawyers from our respective firms to meet, network and find ways of working together whilst receiving high quality legal updates. We will provide continental breakfast and coffee at each seminar.
