On 25 August 2011 the Young Fraud Lawyers (YFLA) in the North Association, a non-profit organisation, launched in Yorkshire having had a successful life in Manchester over the last five years.
The Yorkshire launch of the Young Fraud Lawyers in the North Association (YFLNA) was a great success. Attended by many across Yorkshire. A fantastic evening of networking and entertaining with lots of new contacts made. The food, drink and conversation was in full flow and to top it all off, the sun was shining!
