Junior Lawyers Division: Healthier networking

A compilation of healthy drinking case studies from law firms and chambers has been launched by the Junior Lawyers Division

7 Bedford Row has promoted ‘credible alcohol-free options’ at its evening marketing events, while the judges of the Commercial Court gave non-alcoholic drinks prominence at their recent 125th anniversary dinner. The compilation, ‘Creating a healthy alcohol culture in the legal profession’ was launched this week.

In January, the JLD published guidance, available on the Law Society website, on creating a healthy drinking culture, with recommendations such as avoiding the label ‘drinks’ for events.

Laura Uberoi, Law Society Council member for the JLD and author of the guidance, said: ‘A key part of this work is celebrating what the legal profession is already doing to create a healthier drinking culture and providing ideas to others.’
