Welcome to the seventh edition of Inside Cambridge. It was a privilege to be invited to edit this edition and to reflect on the exciting developments happening at Mishcon Cambridge, as well as Oxford, London and beyond. Mishcon Cambridge comprises a team of talented and driven professionals who understand not only their sector, but this unique city. The events of the last quarter are a testament to just how much energy and vibrancy there is in Cambridge.
Included in this issue, we showcase:
