Please join us for our annual International Venture & Growth Finance Forum, taking place at our London office on Thursday, 16 October 2025.
The event will bring together, and provide an opportunity to network with, a wide range of funds and financiers, intermediaries and corporates from across the sector, as well as DLA Piper contacts from our Finance and Corporate teams across the UK, US, Europe and Australia.
We’re pleased to be joined by Lord Gavin Barwell(former Chief of Staff to the UK Prime Minister and now senior strategic and political consultant at DLA Piper) as our key note speaker. With ongoing uncertainty around governmental actions across the globe, Lord Barwell will offer his perspective on what to expect politically and economically in many of our key markets over the months ahead. This promises to be an exciting and insightful talk and will be followed by a lively panel discussion exploring the outlook for venture and growth finance, and the broader investment landscape, across Europe and the US.
Join us as we explore the future of venture and growth finance - we look forward to seeing you there!
