And Finally...

Hello!

I hope that all is well with you…

We kicked off the start of 2023 with a Law and Criminology careers fair hosted at UON. It was a very busy day, and I was overwhelmed by the student’s enthusiasm for their subject matter. A big thanks to Kirstie Best and the other lecturers who invited us to attend.

I was delighted to host the first training session of 2023, kindly delivered by Marsh, and sponsored by Verify 365. It was most informative, and it is always good to have a refresh on best practices!

Further training events are currently being planned for the remainder of the year, along with some networking events, the resurrection of the annual quiz between ICAEW and NLS members, oh and not forgetting a summer party! Keep a look out for the information in your inbox, and on the website.

Looking at the events calendar for 2023, I have been working closely with Dominic Hopkins from HCR Hewitsons on planning the forthcoming Legal Walk. The date is to be confirmed, which should be announced early to mid-March. Dominic has been instrumental in forming a small steering committee, not only from the Legal profession, but from the Active quarter in Northampton.

It’s a shame we are unable to plan the forecast so let’s just keep our fingers crossed on the weather front!

On a personal note, I have been joining some catch up sessions with my counterparts from other counties. It can be a rather insular life all alone in our offices, so to have Michelle from Notts Law Society inject some humour and best working practices, into our everyday agenda, is most welcomed! The majority of Law societies are advising that since Covid there is a real appetite to take a membership, interact and come together to support all sectors of Law.

As always, I look forward to receiving your feedback, and requests for specific training sessions.

Best wishes
