LBDC | Lawyers’ Business Development Club |
The General Counsel Dining Club
Dublin
Thursday, 5 March 2015
Sponsor: William Fry
Good morning,
You may be interested to know that in Dublin on Thursday 5 March 2015, we held our LBDC | Lawyers’ Business Development Club | exclusive General Counsel (GC) private-dining and roundtable discussion.
Our event was very kindly sponsored by William Fry.
This exclusive event, by invitation only, took place in the stunning Guest Room at The Stephen’s Green Hibernian Club.
General Counsel: Reaction / Feedback
You may be interested to read some comments/feedback from our General Counsel (GC) guests on our inaugural event.
- “Colin, it was a very enjoyable morning. It’s a very busy time for me at the moment with our board meetings next week and it’s also our AGM ‘prep time’ so I thought that I might have to miss the session. However, it’s never a ‘good time’ and the lesson learned from today is that networking should be part of / incorporated into your life – not something that one does when one has the time. If I waited until I had ‘the time’ I would invariably never attend anything and potentially miss meeting great people which could lead to great opportunities. Looking forward to the next session.”
- “Hi Colin, thank you very much for inviting me to this morning’s session. [ ] was a wonderful speaker – you could listen to those fantastic stories all day! I look forward to hearing about the next LBDC event and wish you the very best for your upcoming international events.”
- “Hi Colin, I thoroughly enjoyed the session this morning. I didn’t notice the time going by at all and left feeling I’d have been happy to stay longer, which is a very good sign! Look forward to seeing you again at the next event.”
- “Colin, thank you for the invitation and I thoroughly enjoyed the event – well done on the organisation of another very thought provoking morning. My apologies for having to slip off early. I look forward to attending the next General Counsel event. “
- “Hi Colin, many thanks for asking me along this morning to the LBDC inaugural Irish GC event. I enjoyed the session thoroughly and also thought [the speaker] was superb. I look forward to hooking up with you again soon.”
- “Colin, many thanks for this morning – enjoyed it very much.”
- “Colin, many thanks for a very enjoyable and worthwhile event. Good luck with your Dubai launch.”
- “Colin, thanks again for a great event.”
- Colin, it was good to meet with you today and thank you for both the invitation and for the engaging discussion.”
- “Colin, apologies for the delay in reverting to you. I hope you are keeping well and things are good back in London. It was great to meet you at the LBDC General Counsel event. I thought it was an excellent event I was only sorry that I didn’t take notes when [guest speaker] was speaking! He was fantastic. He mentioned a number of books and articles which I would have liked to have reviewed. If you have the details of the books/articles please ping the details onto me…Many thanks also to William Fry for supporting the LBDC event. I look forward to meeting you again.”
