Good afternoon,
I am delighted to be celebrating our 5th year running the international lawyers’ photography competition. Over the years, I have received travel photos from lawyers in London, Dublin, Paris, Geneva, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco. The winners of our previous competitions have been announced at receptions generously hosted at two international law firms in London – Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and CMS. If you have a travel photo, I’d love to see it 🙂

Thanks to James Watson, Head of Legal at DNEG (one of the world’s leading visual effects companies), for entering the above photo in our 5th Annual International Lawyers’ Photography Competition. James said:
Colin, I hope you are well. Here’s one for the photo competition. Taken tonight as I was waiting for my daughter’s concert to start at Trinity Laban in Greenwich. Not a million miles from home so hope it still qualifies!
Your Photo
So if you are a lawyer (including trainee lawyer) and interested in entering our competition, I’d love to see you travel photo. My email is:
colin.carroll@empowermentinternational.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
Take care,
Colin
Prize
For two years running our top prize was a fabulous 2 night stay in the luxury boutique hotel, Vivenda Miranda perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean in the Algarve, Portugal. Our top prize has yet to be confirmed but I’m hoping we will have another amazing prize this year. 🙂
