It is remarkably productive and enjoyable for everyone to meet in a social environment from time to time. Amongst other things, this helps generate a feeling of team spirit which can often be lacking in a traditional firm. On a professional level, networking within the firm greatly facilitates teamwork on larger deals where expertise from several different lawyers may be required. It also leads to a general appreciation of the expertise that is available and what we as a firm can achieve by working together.
We organise a great many lunches and some breakfasts and dinners throughout the year. Some may be combined with CPD training; others are stand-alone. These are always good events and you are invited to come and share in our collegiate culture. Invitations are sent out in good time via Keyed-In.
A firm-wide summer party takes place in June/July and a Christmas party in December. These take the form of lunch and afternoon drinks.
We like to get together as often as possible. Our events calendar is varied and includes/has included: skiing, horse riding, cricket, golf, running, cycling, wine tasting, choir, Scottish dancing, film and theatre. If you have an idea for an event, then you should get in touch with the Director of Community and Engagement.
