The life and career of former Clifford Chance partner Hugh Pigott, who died on 25 January 2017, is to be celebrated by his firm at a special memorial service.

Hugh was a partner from 1960 to 1992. His practice focused on the London financial markets, and was instrumental to the firm’s extraordinary success. He later put his expertise to use in the publishing world, editing the authoritative monthly title, Journal of International Banking and Finance Law, from 1995 to 2005.

The memorial service will be held in Temple Church, 25 January 2018 at 6pm, followed by drinks and canapés in the Middle Temple Parliament Chamber. If you wish to attend the service, please contact: Lesley.May@cliffordchance.com.
