SAL has organized immensely popular receptions in the Houses of Parliament (including a complimentary guided tour by an MP) and the committee regularly arranges end of month drinks receptions for its members and guests. In recent years we have also organised a SAL Boat Party on the river Thames but the Annual Ball remains, as always, the premier social event for Asian legal professionals. These events not only provide the opportunity to meet ne people and network but also to highlight key issues and achievements within the law.
