President’s Introduction
Welcome to the Winter edition of the Pears Magazine. The Annual Worcestershire Law Society Awards took place on 10th September 2021 attended by 180 at the beautiful Grafton Manor. What an amazing night celebrating excellence in the legal profession.
The committee received a high number of nominations this year and shortlisting was a very difficult task. A huge thank you to our interview panellists; Kate Bould, Index PI; James Osborne, Partner and Family Solicitor at Harrison Clark Rickerbys; Douglas Wotherspoon, Senior Law Lecturer at Worcester University; and Toby Hooper, Retired Judge. Not an easy task this year and your time was greatly appreciated. Congratulations to all those who won an award on the night, all of which were very well deserved! An extra special mention to this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Patricia Beeching. An award recognising a significant contribution to the County’s legal profession which Patricia has done so for over 40 years.
So what is next for 2021? The committee are continuing our charitable endeavours working closely with Onside and we can confirm that so far in 2021 we have raised over £2,000. Save the date for our annual quiz night and Christmas party will be circulated shortly and we look forward to seeing more of you at our in person events throughout the rest of the year. If there is anything either I or the committee can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to let me or a member of the committee know.
