Returning for 2024, the Alternative Dinner, is aimed at everyone but in particular, junior lawyers who have not always had an opportunity to attend the BLS dinners. Bringing together 100+ guests at Aston Villa FC, this is your chance to celebrate your achievements and mingle with fellow professionals. The event will start with a drinks reception followed by a three-course meal, with special guest speakers and entertainment (yes there’s a dance floor)!
We're pleased to confirm Shereen Johal, BLS Solicitor of the Year 2024 and Marissa Jacquet-Smoothy, BLS Partner of the Year 2024 as our guest speakers. Both won awards at our 2024 Legal Awards and will talk about their journeys, how they’ve built their confidence and worked towards their goals including Marissa's path to partnership at a young age.
Whether you’re new to Birmingham or have been on the scene for a while, this is your excuse to get dressed up with your colleagues, network in a fun setting and let your hair down! Networking can be daunting for even the most experienced individual so feel free to book a plus one whether that’s a friend or partner, it’s up to you.
