THE ALTERNATIVE LAW SOCIETY DINNER

Well, what a great evening we all had at the Alternative Law Society Dinner! Thanks to all involved in organising and for allowing us to support the event through our sponsorship. The evening, hosted in the Edgbaston Stadium, offered a great opportunity to network with Birmingham’s legal community seeing faces familiar and new. Fantastic food, entertaining guest speakers and even a bubble machine on the dancefloor – it really was a fantastic night made all the better by helping to raise money for the BLS President’s Charities; SIFA Fireside and Walk the Walk! It was also great to hear from the BLS President, Stephanie Perraton, who refreshingly promised attendees that there was nothing on their desks that couldn’t wait until tomorrow!

Our table included BCL Legal Director, Angharad Warren and BCL Legal Associates Donna Jones, Amanda Young and Josh Mcconnell, all of whom work in the legal recruitment market in Birmingham. We were also joined by guests including the Birmingham Trainee Solicitors’ Society Chair, Dalya Ben Romdhane and further BTSS committee members, Sophie Warren and Carl Latham, as well as other young lawyers, Talveer Sangha, Bela Viramgama and Jasmine Bilkhu.

It was also great to sponsor alongside the College of Legal Practice and as a result of connections made that evening, we are already in plans to host a joint virtual event with the College of Legal Practice on the Solicitors Qualifying Examination (SQE) route to qualification later this month. If you’d be keen to find out more about the SQE then look out for further announcements via our LinkedIn page here.
