At the University of Law, we’re delighted to have a global community of over 97,000 alumni across 155 countries. Our thriving London-based campuses at Bloomsbury and Moorgate have led to a huge network of contacts and, as a result, a large number of our alumni are based in the UK capital. To reinforce professional and personal connections within this community, we are delighted to introduce The University of Law London Alumni Network (LAN).
