Good evening,

Colin here from the Lawyers’ BD Club. I hope you are keeping well. Just to remind you entries close on 30 September for our 6th Annual International Lawyers’ Photography Competition. I’ve loved seeing all of your photos so far – a lot of immensely talented lawyers turned photographers out there! Like Ed Saunders, a lawyer at Mayer Brown in London who entered the incredible photo above in last year’s competition and won 2nd prize.

We have an amazing prize on offer – a 2 night stay in a luxury boutique hotel in the Algarve. I’ve been to the hotel a few times for dinner and drinks and absolutely love it. The hotel is located in a little residential area at the end of a cul de sac and has the most beautiful ocean views. You’d love it!

The theme for our competition again this year is travel.

To enter the competition:

You need to be a qualified lawyer in your jurisdiction.
Your travel photo needs to be taken by you (and not by a friend or someone else!).
Just one photo per lawyer.
You can send it over to me – Colin Carroll – Email: colin.carroll@empowermentinternational.com

Top Prize for our Winner – Luxury Boutique Hotel in the Algarve

As noted above our lucky winner will get a 2 night stay in Vivenda Miranda, a luxury boutique cliff-top hotel in the Algarve, Portugal.

Our Judge: Professional Photographer – Orla Murray based in Dublin

I am delighted that professional photographer Orla Murray will judge our competition again this year. Orla’s career spans 21 years and has seen her work as a photographer with corporates, semi-states, start-ups, charities and government departments. Affable yet highly-professional, she is well known for being able to put her subjects — no matter how high-profile — at ease with her friendly demeanour. Orla established her own business in 2007, merging with photographer Shane O’Neill in 2016. In 2020 they co-founded Coalesce, a company that brings groups of smaller creative businesses together to collaborate on photography, videography and graphic design projects and larger contracts. Orla’s areas of expertise include press and public relations, corporate, portrait and conference/event photography.
