LORD BILIMORIA LIGHTS DIWALI LAMP FOR CITY LAWYERS
(1 November 2007)

Lord Bilimoria, CBE, DL, the Chairman of both Cobra Beer Limited and the UK India Business Council, lit the Diwali lamp for city lawyers at a special reception organised by Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) on Thursday 1 November 2007. The event, which was attended by leading figures from across the City and prominent Indian businessmen and women, marked the firm's growing links with the Indian subcontinent.

Through its India Focus Group, BLP undertakes a broad range of work for Indian clients and international clients doing business in India including Apeejay Surrendra, Air Deccan and Lavasa Corporation. Another strong link to India is the company's support for the Lawrence Homan Girls School near Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, which was founded by Hugh Homan, a consultant at BLP, in 1984. The school provides an education to over 800 pupils, specialising in the education of girls aged 11-18.
