Birmingham BPC Women’s Network – A Message from our Chair

lcorfield

 

 

 

 

Dear all,  

I’m delighted to announce the launch of the ‘Birmingham BPC Women’s Network’. We hope to organise a few social events a year for female BPC practitioners and the female judiciary who sit in the Birmingham BPC (full and part time). 
 
Our first event will be for female MCCBA members and the female judiciary, held at No5 Chambers, 103 Colmore Row, Birmingham from 5pm on 6 November 2024
 
HHJ Emma Kelly, who has supported me making this idea a reality, will say a few introductory words, and we will have drinks, refreshments and an opportunity to socialise and get to know each other better. We hope the events will promote a sense of inclusivity for women working in our practice area and we aim, over time, to boost retention rates for women. 
 
I really hope that lots of you will support this first event. It would be great to get a really strong turn out. 
 
Please rsvp (for the purposes of understanding catering needs) to me directly at chair@mccba.co.uk (please note the gender neutral change to the email address!!) 
 
Best wishes, 
 
Louise

Birmingham BPC Form Event 24 September 2024 – Mr Justice Foxton

 

The MCCBA and Birmingham Law Society, as part of the Birmingham Business and Property Courts Forum, are delighted to present the latest in our series of events. The former Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court, Mr Justice Foxton,  will speak on “Ten Great Courtroom Dramas and What We Can Learn From Them”. This event will also be an opportunity to introduce Mr Justice Michael Green as the incoming Business and Property Courts Supervising Judge for the Midland, Western and Wales Circuits and Mr Justice Henshaw as the new Judge in Charge of the Commercial Court. Drinks will follow the presentation, to provide a networking forum for the whole dispute resolution community.
