Great time at Electric Shuffle this afternoon for our ‘MLS Team Time’. Great fun, lots of laughs and so lovely to spend time together out of the office for a couple of hours. Our Fran won - we’ll never hear the end of it 🤣🤣🤣

On Tuesday evening, we held our Personal Injury & Clinical Negligence Forum’s first event - a panel discussion exploring the ways the sector can better encourage more collaboration and communication in cases 🤝

We had expert panellists from Claimant and Defendant backgrounds (and some with experience on both sides!) sharing their thoughts on key issues such as disputed liability, interim payments, mediation and more.

A huge thank you to our Chairs Cheryl Palmer-Hughes and Kathryn White, as well as our speakers: His Honour Judge Pearce, Daniel Frieze, Helen Kanczes, Colin Murphy, Ben Gent and Jonathan Heap

Many thanks to St John’s Buildings Barristers’​ Chambers for kindly hosting and for their hospitality and assistance on the night.

And, of course, thank you to everyone who joined us. We had some amazing audience engagement and participation, and we can’t wait to see what future events the Forum has in store!

If you would like to join the Forum, please email enquiries@manchesterlawsociety.org.uk to check your MLS membership status and register your interest 📧

Last night, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting the Manchester Law Society Supper Club at the beautiful Pip Restaurant at Manchester’s Treehouse Hotel 🧡

From start to finish, the evening was filled with fantastic conversation, warm connections, and a truly memorable dining experience.

Pip proved to be the perfect setting — stylish, welcoming, and full of character. The food was exceptional, the service seamless, and the atmosphere buzzing with the energy of colleagues and friends coming together to share ideas, stories, and plenty of laughter.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night so special. Events like these remind us how strong, supportive, and vibrant our legal community truly is 🥰

Looking forward to many more evenings like this!

In just a few weeks, we will be hosting our ED&I event, 'Breaking Barriers: The Rabbi, the Imam and the Power of Dialogue', kindly sponsored by Clyde & Co.

📅 Monday 9th February
🕔 17:00 — 19:30
📌 Clyde & Co, Two New Bailey Square, Stanley Street, Salford, M3 5GS

For more than two years, Rabbi Dovid Lewis and Imam Nasser Kurdy have refused to be divided by conflict and have led dozens of interfaith initiatives across local schools and football grounds, proving that dialogue, empathy, and shared humanity can endure even in the most challenging times.

Though renowned across our region, for the very first time the two faith-leaders will be delivering their talk and Q+A session to a legal community, exploring themes such as faith, identity, and the transformative power of dialogue.

We do hope you'll be able to join us for this powerful session, which is a testament to what’s possible when we lead with compassion, listen deeply, and dare to reach across painful divides.

You asked, we listened 💌

Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to be restarting our inter-professional networking dinners — this time, with a fresh rebrand.

Formally known as the Manchester Professionals’ Dinner Clubs, these events were a solid staple in our social calendar, popular amongst our membership and wider network for its ability to bring together individuals from the entire business spectrum. These dinners gave opportunities for collaboration, cross-referrals and connection in the finest restaurants Manchester had to offer.

Now, after months of preparation, we are relaunching with the ‘MLS Supper Clubs‘, designed to bring back these invaluable opportunities of informal yet powerful professional networking.

Our inaugural event, in what we hope to be a long series of networking dinners, will take place on Wednesday 25th February 2026 at Pip and we’d love to see you there 🥂

Start new collaborations, rekindle old friendships, connect with your fellow Manchester professionals — all at the MLS Supper Club.
