Guests in attendance represented a diverse number of industry sectors in Scotland, including banking/financial services, commercial and residential property development, restructuring and accountancy.

Janette Speed, real estate partner and head of Shoosmiths office in Edinburgh, said: “Our annual Spring drinks event gives Shoosmiths’ clients and industry insiders a fantastic opportunity to network and discuss topical business issues.

“Spring Drinks comes at a time when despite the uncertainties of Brexit we are continuing to see a marked growth in key practice areas. We expect to further increase our head count in Scotland this year to meet continued demand from our expanding client base.”
