NLS Article: Carolyn Coles, and Finally...
And Finally...
Hello, welcome to the second bulletin of 2024.
Since I last wrote, I have had the pleasure of joining some of my counterparts at the Malmaison in Birmingham for a lunch, where we shared some great ideas, and best working practices. I was able to put faces to names whom I have been emailing over the last few years, meet new people who are trying to get a Law society off the ground in their geographical area- it was a wholesome afternoon!
Joe Hobbins from HCR Hewitsons and I have been busy out plotting the route for the Northants Legal walk, which is taking place on Wed June 5th.
We are meeting outside the Law courts at 5.15pm to have a prompt 5.30pm start. There are 5 and 10km routes. We recommend suitable footwear, as we are walking around Delapre park and golf club for much of the route- and most importantly, Dogs are welcome to join us too!
According to a recent report, the advice sector faces a £15-£20 million shortfall when trying to meet the immediate new demand which has been significantly exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis. The problem is urgent. If the funding gap is not closed, unmet demand will continue to increase while tens of thousands of people remain unable to access the services they need.
Please come along and support us, all are welcome. If you are unable to join us, why not make a small donation via the QR code above - It all helps, and it goes to local legal charities.
We have the AGM of the Society booked for July 1st, venue and timings will be published once finalised- please free to come along, this is your Society, come and have your say.
Dates have been confirmed for the Awards Dinner, a Family Law training day, and a full day of training latter part of the year with Ian Quayle. I am also delighted to announce that we will have a NLS golf day to be held at Northants County Golf club, on Weds 23rd October.
More information on the above will be shared with you via mail and LinkedIn.
I would love to hear from you, what is going on in your firm, even if it just to let me know about “Hatches. Matches, and Dispatches”
