Organiser Christine Melis said the annual event was “an opportunity for women to meet, greet and share a laugh”, thanks in part to he assistance of comedian Rachel Berger.

The more serious side of the evening was the opportunity for female barristers to get to know their law firm peers and to increase their opportunities for receiving briefings — particularly from colleagues working in similar practice areas.

“Every year the VWL and WBA bring their memberships together for an evening at for some relaxed networking over drinks and canapés,” Melis said. “Guests are encouraged to meet new solicitors and barristers, particularly those who share a similar practice.”

Lexis Nexus, publisher of Lawyers Weekly, sponsored of this event.
