Good morning,
I hope you are keeping well and are enjoying the start of the summer 🙂 You may be interested to see some photos and short videos (taken on my i-phone!) from our Lawyers BD CLUB launch in Paris. Before our event kicked off we had a drinks reception on Hogan Lovells roof-terrace with spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower! If you click on the video below, you can check it out! It will be hard to beat those views at our next Lawyers BD CLUB event in Paris!! Our guest speaker Bjarne Tellmann was just superb. Our guests loved his Talk.
I hope you have a fun weekend, Colin.
Ps. If you have a good travel photo – it would be great to see it as I’m running our *2nd Annual Lawyers Photography Competition*. You could end up winning our top prize of a 2 night stay in a luxury boutique hotel in the Algarve! 🙂 More details: on this link here.
