Law Society RFC Festival of Sport announces headline sponsor

The Law Society RFC has announced JHB & Partners as the headline sponsor of this year’s Festival of Sport, to be held on Sunday 21 September at Richmond Athletic Association

JHB & Partners work with lawyers, law firms and in-house teams to unlock opportunities both on and off the pitch. For private practice lawyers, JHB & Partners offers career coaching, guidance on making the move in-house, and support in navigating the market. For law firms, they provide strategic resourcing advice and business development services to help them grow and win more work, whilst for in-house teams they provide flexible resourcing and recruitment strategy advice.

Josh Blake, founder of JHB & Partners, said: ‘We’re proud to support the Law Society RFC’s Festival of Sport, bringing lawyers together in competition and camaraderie. Just like in sport, success in the legal world comes down to preparation, teamwork, and having the right game plan. That’s what JHB & Partners is here to deliver.’

JHB & Partners join an impressive roster of associated firms which includes Brockwell Capital (providing the rugby balls and netballs); FourFive (providing hydration supplements to all entering teams) and Maddy’s Mark (this year’s charity).

With a month remaining until the tournament kicks off, 44 law and financial services firms have signed up to take part in the five tournaments: netball, mixed tag, rugby 7s and men’s & women’s 5-a-side football. A few places remain available in mixed tag and the two football tournaments, should a firm be interested in signing up at this late stage.

Tournament director Daniel How commented: ‘We’re thrilled to have new sponsors on board for this year’s Tournament and love the alignment between JHB & Partners ethos and ours! Teams should look out for some extra goodies on the day and check out our partner details at our website for more information.’
