Reflecting on my main goals and what we have done to achieve those: 1. Promote the legal sector and our City as a whole a. BBLT- Meet ups, Tech Festival and Westminster, Legal Geek b. Joint V & ASWLS c. Social media presence d. Engagement with BCC and WECA e. Supporting Bristol Pro Bono, Pro Bono Week, Bristol Law Centre and the SW Legal Support Trust Walk f. Supporting UWE DAS g.

South West D&I Forum c. Supporting member D&I initiatives d. Bristol Equality Network and Bristol Equality Charter e. Celebrating 100 years of Women in Law f. Supporting Bristol Pride g. Pay gap seminar h. LawCare and mental health awareness A huge thank you to all on Council who have supported and run these events and new initiatives. An even bigger thank you to Helen, Clair and John who have somehow managed to accommodate all these new events. Seriously they go over and beyond to ensure that we meet the needs and wishes of our members. Resourcing continues to be a challenge and one that we are looking at closely. If we want to maximise all of our potential, we will eventually need to increase our resources. Delighted to have continued strengthening our relationships with our sponsors and strategic partners- UWE, Lloyds, Milsted Landon, Wessex Searches, Marsh JLT, Hays, Anexsys and Annecto. Really exciting to have welcomed a number of new sponsors this year- Insight Legal, Amdaris, WMR, Nine Feet Tall and Easton Bevins/Neighbourly Matters Consultancy. In addition we have been supported by ARAG, West Country Case Management, Kin Probate, Legal WorkFlow, Dual Asset Management, Griffiths Allen, Weston College, Conscious, Albion, Guildhall, at our awards dinner and conferences. P a g e | 5 Appendix 1 It has been an exhausting year, but one that has been really valuable personally. It has opened my eyes to all the innovation and inspiration within our profession and beyond. Really pleased to have raised funds for our charity of the year- The Bristol Children’s Help Society. We have raised around £3500 so far and hoping for a final push this Friday with #Casual4Kids. Last but not least… There is set to be a new kid on the block. They say he is taller, younger and better looking. That’s all lies. Delighted to be handing over to Ben Holt. Ben has been a really supportive Senior Vice and he is going to be a fantastic President. He is energetic, amusing, some say extravert, and commercially savvy. He is really popular amongst our legal community and I have no doubts he will continue to drive BLS forward. Ben and I have built a good friendship over the past few years and I am delighted to be supporting him next year. Thanks again for all your support and please continue to support BLS moving forward.

  • Partner Moves
    Lateral Partner Moves in London May - June 2020 Welcome to the latest round-up of lateral partner moves in the legal market from Edwards Gibson; where we look back at announced partner-level recruitment activity in London over the past two months and give you a ‘who’s moved where’ update. With law firms having to rapidly adjust to the economic challenges thrown up by COVID-19, their cash- conservation strategies have so far ranged from capital calls, drawing deferrals, rent reductions, pay- cuts and promotion/hire freezes (to name but a few). Although there have so far been mercifully few redundancies, with the UK government already tapering furlough payments, which are due to end completely in October 2020, it is likely many more firms will instigate formal or informal redundancy programmes over the next quarter. Against this backdrop it is unsurprising that at the half-year point, the number of partner moves (195) is down more than a fifth on the statistical average (244) for the same January–June period last year. Nevertheless, a complex picture appears to be developing. On the one hand, despite elevated caution around lateral partner hires, the picture for transactional lawyers is likely still flattered by a lag effect reflecting processes which were in advanced stages, prior to the impact of COVID-19. Against this, expectations of a pending boom in COVID-induced workflow - such as disputes and restructuring - along with potential “bargains” to be had from disruption-induced voluntary and involuntary movement of partners (including perhaps the odd émigré returning from a beleaguered Hong Kong), has boosted lateral numbers which may explain why, in the past two months, the number of laterals (61) is down only 14% on the same period last year (71).
