On Thursday 29 October 2015, prominent lawyers and judges from across the legal sector will attend the first ever Diwali reception at the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom being hosted by the Hindu Lawyers Association and supported by national law firm Bevan Brittan LLP.
The theme of the evening is 'The Laws of Leadership and The Winning Mindset' with keynote speeches from Alpesh Patel (lawyer and Principal of Praefinium Partners Ltd) and Robert Bourns (Vice President of the Law Society). Representatives from the Ministry of Justice will also address the audience whilst a live classical Indian music interlude will be provided by a number of internationally renowned musicians.
The reception not only acknowledges the triumph of light over darkness but also celebrates diversity within the legal profession. It is hoped that all attendees are inspired to strive to be leaders within their firms, chambers as well as within their communities. The skills possessed by lawyers are valuable and readily transferable to benefit society and it is hoped lawyers step up to contribute to creating a more prosperous United Kingdom.
