Follow the Seagulls Walk Following an article in the last Re magazine, Frances Newbury and a friend of hers completed the Follow the Seagulls Walk on 1 and 2 April 2017. So far they have raised £1507 and the sponsorship is still coming in. ~ I just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone who sponsored us. Your support means a lot! ~ 2017 Eastbourne Legal Walk Admission Ceremony On 28 April 2017, our trainee solicitors Gail Waller and Annika Mason attended the Law Society in Chancery Lane where they were admitted to the roll of solicitors by the Deputy Vice Chancellor of the Law Society, Christina Blacklaws. Ms Blacklaws, who represents the Women Lawyers Division, gave a speech highlighting the increasing gender diversity in the legal industry; currently 62% of new entrants to the profession are women. After the admission ceremony, Gail and Annika joined other newly qualified solicitors and their families for a drinks reception in the Common Room. We’re delighted that both solicitors are remaining with the firm, Gail in Clinical Negligence at our Brighton office and Annika in Probate, Trusts and Wills at our Seaford office. Members of the team at Mayo Wynne Baxter will be taking part in a 10km seaside walk. The Walk raises funds for Eastbourne Citizens Advice Bureau. With only a small number of legal advice agencies in the area it is vital that we help to maintain the Bureau in order for it to be able to continue to provide its valuable services to the community. This year’s walk will start at 5.30 on June 12th. Donations can be made here at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/team/ MayoWynneBaxter2017 BHAFC V Bristol City – An MWB staff treat.
