What an honour to be able to deliver a full-package program - legal and business development seminars, keynote presentations, networking opportunities and (in true PLN style) a beach visit - to attendees! Thank you to all who have made the Pacific Legal Network the one-stop-shop for legal and business needs in the Pacific. #PLNforum #pacificconnections #pacificislands #pacificlegalnetwork
