Eight litigators, from Linklaters, 4 New Square, 3VB and Brown Rudnick, will tackle the 13.1-mile route through the capital’s most iconic landmarks on 14 October 2018.

ILBF is a charity which saves legal texts from UK landfills and provides them to organisations across the globe in need of up-to-date resources, and to date has shipped over 51,000 textbooks to more than 50 countries; for more information on the charity’s work, visit www.ilbf.org.uk.
