Bennett Hosts First Baristas and Solicitors event of the year

On Friday 7 March 2025, Bennett welcomed clients and friends to our first Baristas and Solicitors event of the year – this time at a new venue, Copia.

Designed as a relaxed and welcoming space, these events provide an opportunity for young lawyers to connect over coffee, build relationships and expand their professional networks.

It was fantastic to see both new and familiar faces join us for meaningful conversations and valuable connections. A big thank you to everyone who attended, we look forward to the next one! 

About Baristas and Solicitors

At Bennett, we are committed to fostering connections and creating opportunities for professional growth. Our Baristas and Solicitors event series is about building relationships, finding common ground and encouraging collaboration.

These gatherings offer a casual environment where young lawyers can engage with peers, alumni, and former colleagues, strengthening their networks over breakfast.

We were delighted to host our first event of 2025.

Our Baristas and Solicitors Team, of young lawyers, for March included, Thomas Coltrona, Michelle Hankey, Alex Hughes, Sam Howieson, Reid Thornett, Chloe Placzek, Andrew Filing, and Mark Donaldson.

Thank you again to all who joined us. We look forward to continuing this initiative throughout the year!
