Birmingham Law Society invites anyone within your company plus their guests to a drinks reception celebrating the achievement of their new qualification.
Aimed at all those who have qualified as a solicitor or barrister within our region over the past year, please do pass this invite around to your colleagues to celebrate with a drinks and canapés reception.
The newly qualified will be presented with a certificate of congratulations from Birmingham Law Society.
There will be a welcome from our President, Guy Barnett, who will talk about his journey into law before hearing from Beatrice Munro, Barrister at No5 Barristers' Chambers and Kristian Campbell-Drummond, Co-Chair of the Birmingham Junior Lawyers Division (JLD) and Principal Associate, Weightmans LLP.
Beatrice Munro has recently successfully completed her pupillage with the Family Group at No5 Barristers Chambers. Beatrice undertakes work across the full breadth of Family including matrimonial finance, private and public children work. In her spare time, Beatrice swims, bikes and runs, but refuses to do a triathlon – at least until her midlife crisis!
Kristian is a Principal Associate specialising in Employment and HR law at Weightmans LLP, having qualified with the firm in 2022. With previous experience of leading the Birmingham Solicitors’ Group in a Co-Chair capacity, he is now relishing the opportunity to guide the inaugural Birmingham Junior Lawyers Division alongside Christie. He believes the Division can further Birmingham Law Society’s mantra of “One Profession. One Region. One Voice” by creating a central hub where Junior’s, from students to Senior Associates, can meet, socialise and develop their skillset and network within an inclusive environment.
Keen on encouraging and promoting diversity and inclusivity within the profession, in his spare time Kristian is enrolled as a mentor to students and legal juniors across various schemes in London and the Midlands. In 2024 Kristian was a finalist for The Black Talent Awards, in the Professional Services, Legal & Accounting category and in 2025 won at Birmingham Black Lawyer’s Excellence Awards in the Junior Legal Professional of the Year category.
