Publicity & Social Media Committee update

Returning fresh into the new year after a very busy Christmas period, we hope everyone is now geared up and ready to start networking again. The Westminster and Holborn Law Society are grateful for all the support of our members, sponsors and wider network throughout 2022 and look forward to 2023 to continually bolster these relationships.

To offer a brief reminder of what WHLS has been up to in the last quarter of 2022, we hosted and collaborated on a few events that were well attended by members and prospective members alike.

Past events

 In October, we welcomed our new President, Nicola Rubbert and said goodbye to our now Immediate Past President, Matthew Allan! We are truly grateful to Matt for his hard work and dedication throughout his tenure and wish Nicola the very best.

 On 1 November, we collaborated with the American Bar Association (ABA) to present – ‘Avoiding a Pyrrhic Victory: Enforcing Awards and Judgment in the UK and US’ on crossborder enforcement of litigation judgements and arbitration awards focusing on UK and USA.

 We also hosted our Annual Dinner at the National Liberal Club on 10 November. This was well attended as it is one of, if not, the biggest event on our calendar. A massive thank you to all who attended and to those who were not able to attend, here’s hoping that you are already looking forward to the 2023 edition.

 We were hoping to host a social evening in November at the Old Bank of England pub, however, we regrettably had to cancel due to reasons beyond our control. We look forward socializing with you sometime soon.

Upcoming events

 We look forward to hosting 'Navigating Qualification and Beyond', an event for second year trainees and NQs in conjunction with London Young Lawyers Group on 16 February at the Dawson Cornwell offices. This exciting event will be an amazing platform for early-stage legal professionals to build their network and take advice on career progression from an exceptional list of panellists.

You can find more information about our upcoming events on our social media platforms!

To wrap up, we would like to encourage interaction and engagement with our content on social media, where we encourage positive and healthy discussions on our posts in general. We also look forward to welcoming new members to our society, so get in touch on any of our social media pages or with anyone of our committee members, as we will then be able to discuss how you too could become a member of Westminster and Holborn Law Society.
