We're delighted to invite former members of the Taylor Wessing community to our first all alumni event, Lift off: an evening with Lous Theroux, taking place on Thursday 1 December 2022.
Our guest speaker for the evening will be documentary presenter Louis Theroux, who'll be interviewed by Maria McErlane (Co-host, The Graham Norton Radio Show).
Best known for producing immersive documentaries that explore the often controversial and complex aspects of the human condition, Louis Theroux's gentle questioning style and informal approach have enabled him to shine a light on intriguing beliefs, behaviours, and institutions by getting to know the people at the heart of them. Like our guest speaker, Taylor Wessing continues to challenge expectation and focus on asking thought provoking questions of us all.
After being limited to virtual events for so long we can't wait to see our alumni community in person, for a talk that will be thought provoking and offer ideas to discuss on the night and beyond.
