Shoosmiths embraces Spring with drinks event

Last night saw the Edinburgh office of Shoosmiths welcome over 100 clients and industry insiders, when partners and senior associates across all practice areas hosted its second successful Spring Drinks event.

Guests represented a diverse number of key industry sectors, including from banking/financial services, real estate, property development, house building, retail, restructuring and accountancy.

Held within its Saltire Court premises, the event comes just a week after Shoosmiths was crowned “National/Regional Law Firm of the Year” at the Legal Business Awards. That prestigious accolade was in recognition of Shoosmiths’ significant achievements over the past 12 months.

Janette Speed, real estate partner and head of Shoosmiths office in Edinburgh, said: “Our highly successful annual Spring drinks event has presented Shoosmiths’ clients and industry insiders with a fantastic opportunity to network and discuss topical business issues within a relaxed setting.”

She added: “Shoosmiths office in Edinburgh continues to see a marked growth in key practice areas, including corporate and real estate and we anticipate this positive trend will continue throughout 2018.

“We have strengthened our client base in relation to core real estate, landlord and tenant work, multi-faceted hotel and leisure and residential and commercial development, and investment work, which includes care homes and health, in addition to the energy, telecoms and scientific sectors.”
