Memorial service - Hugh Sefton Pigott

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.
