Seamus Smyth, senior partner at Carter Lemon Camerons LLP has been elected president of London Solicitors Litigation Association (LSLA).
Seamus specialises in business-based litigation and arbitration. He is also a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and was until recently chairman of the British South African Law Association.
As LSLA president, Seamus sees the most immediate challenge for litigators as being the funding of litigation in the aftermath of the Jackson Report against the unpredictable background of an imminent general election.
