🎃 Networking 🎃 I had a wonderful time with Derby Junior Lawyers last thursday at their latest event! It was lovely to meet everyone and attend an event a little closer to home! A special thank you to Amelia Sutcliffe and Charlotte Hope Personal Injury Specialist for making me feel super welcome (and talking all things contentious work with me)! P.S - I can confirm that my litigation knowledge is far more advanced than my artistic skills 😆 #litigation
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Pumpkin Painting event 🎃 last night. The evening was truly lovely. With new and old faces, it seems everyone enjoyed switching off from work, slowing down and tapping into their creative side. It’s amazing what a little artistic expression can do for the mind! 🎨 We can’t wait to see everyone at our final event of the year, the DJL x Derby and District Law Society Winter Party on 22nd November. Details can be found on the following link: https://lnkd.in/enQk4V_m Enjoy the rest of Halloween all! 👻
