Old Chigwellian Richard Barham, partner at city law firm SNR Denton, gave us a deep insight into some of complexities of corporate law. From detailing the different components of a pharmacy, through the way the UK government broke up British Rail, to the successful Olympic bid, Richard showed us, from his wide experience, both the variety of forms corporate law can take, as well as the similar demands it makes on detailed analysis and clear thinking. Subsequent discussion took us into the different realms of ethics and university law degrees.
