OUR SPECTACULAR
ANNUAL DINNER 2017...
& OTHER STORIES!

This year’s CDLS Annual Dinner was the most spectacular yet, with more guests than ever from across Cardiff and South Wales to witness one of the most stunning productions we have ever hosted for CDLS members.

The evening played host to the most glamorous champagne reception and evening's entertainment our Society has ever seen in its 180+ year history. Not only did we welcome the largest number of guests from across the legal and professional services industries, we were honoured to invite our very special guest speaker, the broadcaster and presenter Jeremy Bowen, to the stage to conclude a simply stunning night.

Many congratulations to this year’s award winners: Richard Fisher who truly deserved being awarded the prestigious Simon Mumford Award; Lisa-Marie Knight (Acuity Legal), who won Junior Lawyer of the Year Award and; Grace Palmer who won the LPC Student of the Year Award.
We look forward seeing who wins next year!
