A record £100,000 was raised for Breast Cancer Care by this year’s Tour de Law. The Tour involves a 1,000km race from London to Paris and back, but on stationary Wattbike exercise bikes. This year, 23 law firms took part, with Simmons & Simmons announced the champions. Latham & Watkins raised £12,846, the highest any firm has ever raised in the event. Latham & Watkins’ James Dabell and Freshfields’ Tatyana Rogozhina were crowned the fastest man and woman.
