Astraea Group is pleased to announce that Matthew Allan was elected President of Westminster & Holborn Law Society ("WHLS") on 19 October. The society is a representative body for lawyers in central London and undertakes local and international business development for its members as well as pro bono initiatives.

Matthew's first order of business was to bestow honorary life membership to WHLS upon the current President of the Law Society of England and Wales, I. Stephanie Boyce at the society's Annual General Meeting in central London last night. 

Matthew is also the vice chair of the society's International Committee, helping to develop business and professional relationships across Europe and more broadly.

Matthew commented –

"I am grateful for the opportunity to represent lawyers in central London and to put my experience of cross-border work to use by engaging with clients and business partners abroad. Ensuring our members and their clients have access to the legal services they need to help their businesses, wherever they may be, will underpin my presidential term."
