Nigel Rowley—USCGITA

London lawyer named president of US-China trade alliance London chapter

Nigel Rowley, managing partner of London and Surrey lawyers Mackrell Turner Garrett has been named the president of the London Chapter of the US China Global Investment & Trade Alliance (USCGITA).

USCGITA was established as a means to develop investment and commerce between the US, China, Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East, as well as promoting business partnerships among members in those countries.

The move follows Nigel’s recent visit to the China Free Trade Zone (FTZ) conference held by the USCGITA in Shanghai. The FTZ covers an area of 29 square kilometres and was created in order to implement various economic reforms and to attract more foreign investment in China.

Nigel has extensive experience in cross-border disputes and multi-jurisdictional litigation and is an international committee member for EMEA on Mackrell International (MI), the independent network of 90+ law firms around the world and hairman of the Membership Committee for MI.

Nigel says: “As president of the London Chapter it will be my role to help facilitate trade and investment between the UK, the US and China, utilising my extensive multi-jurisdictional expertise and contacts throughout the world via the Mackrell International network of lawyers.”
