Justice Secretary David Lidington says Brexit will give Britain’s top judges the freedom to prove ‘they are the best in the world’
In his first major speech since becoming Lord Chancellor, the seasoned Tory revealed plans for a worldwide marketing blitz to showcase English law
Brexit will give Britain’s top judges the freedom to prove they are the best in the world, Justice Secretary David Lidington declared.
In his first major speech since becoming Lord Chancellor, the Tory veteran announced plans for a worldwide marketing blitz to showcase English law.
And he said the campaign would make the case for why businesses should “choose the UK” for legal services.
The address came a day after the UK’s most senior judge Lord Neuberger said Brexit would boost rather than undermine the legal profession.
Mr Lidington said: “I want to seize the opportunity to project our English law, our courts, our judges, our legal services to the world and to new markets."
Mr Lidington added: “I want to see the Government, our justice system and our legal services unite behind a common effort to harness and project to the world a strong and clear message about just how exceptional this country is when it comes to its justice system and legal services.
“The message will be choose the UK and you will get a global guarantee of judicial excellence and integrity."
