SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gatmaitan hosted Philip Wood, head of Allen & Overy’s Global Law Intelligence Unit, last September 18. Philip met with counsels of banks and financial institutions to discuss his current project on international legal risk for banks and corporates. His talk also covered the reasons for the intensification of law and the significant increases in international legal risks, the demand for lawyers and their role in the future, as well as forecasting the outlook for lawyers and the law.
