Lawyers from Marks & Clerk Law participated in the first fully remote hearing ever to take place at the UK’s Court of Appeal. In our second podcast, Mike Gilbert, Tom Taylor, Imogen Kelso and Jonathan Solomon share their experiences, discussing key client concerns and how they overcame the technological and logistical perils to achieve success. As lockdown continues, so do the courts.
