And Finally...
Hello! I hope that this message finds you all fit and well.
Since I last wrote, we have enjoyed a number of extra bank holidays, witnessed and celebrated the crowning of King Charles, and now before you know it, the nights are drawing in and we are heading towards the latter part of summer!
Here at NLS, I have been delighted to have hosted several training events, both by Marsh, and Landmark. We have welcomed a new speaker Stephen Desmond sponsored by Xpress Legal and are looking to host further training events in the latter part of the year – details will be hitting your inbox imminently.
With thanks to Dominic Hopkins, Joe Hobbins and the team at Hewitsons HCR, staff and volunteers from UoN, and Rachel McGrath from Northampton Community Foundation we had a successful Legal walk, even the torrential rain and thunder didn’t put the walkers off. In conjunction with ATJF we raised much needed revenue to support local charities. We were welcomed at the offices of Hewitsons by High Court Judge, Mr Justice Morris, and The High Sheriff, Mr Milan Shah.
Continuing along the same theme, I am delighted to advise that the Pro Bono clinic which is being formed in conjunction with the CA, Law Works, NCF, UoN and ourselves will be looking to re – open its clinic from September onwards. We have completed a pilot recently and we would very much appreciate if any of our readers would be interested in volunteering.
The subject matters that the CAB are reporting are most popular, are Family and Property Law- in the last week alone on average over 6 cases were turned away each day.
If this is something that would interest you, or anyone else within your firm, - please do get them to contact me and I will gladly have a chat about what is involved (07543 662572)
I very much look forward to meeting you at one of our upcoming events, and if you would like to add anything to our “members page”, then please drop me a line – sec. nls@outlook.com
Best wishes
