Mohindra Maini seminars are now running into the second year of a series of Round Table discussions on popular business topics which are of interest to clients, local professional and advisers such as bankers and accountants.

With a variety of speakers from within the practice and external, the seminars form a useful talking shop over a lunch-time debate around the vast knowledge and experience that sits around the table.

A recent seminar given by local Manchester businessman Vikas Shah on ‘Branding’ gave an insight into how the large corporations position their brand in the market place and how every business whether large or small should be aware of creating a strong brand and the benefits it brings to the business.

The next seminar is being held on Friday 14 May at 12.30pm on ‘All you need to know about Property Fraud’. Presented by Anis Waiz, Banking Litigation Partner at Mohindra Maini.

North West business leaders came to Manchester on the 20 April to an event sponsored by North West India Business Unit and NWRDA at Manchester Town Hall to hear leading speakers talk about the benefits of trade between the North West and India.
