Sommeliers and Solicitors: a memorable end-of-year celebration at Bennett

On Friday, 5 December, we were delighted to host our end-of-year Sommeliers and Solicitors celebration in the Bennett boardroom. The event brought together clients, colleagues and friends of Bennett for an evening of connection and conversation to close out another successful year.

With more than 70 external guests in attendance, the room was filled with energy as our team welcomed long-standing clients and new connections from across the legal, business and broader professional community. The evening provided the perfect opportunity to reflect on shared achievements, strengthen relationships and celebrate the partnerships that continue to shape our work.

Guests enjoyed seasonal canapés produced by Gather Foods and wines by The Heritage Wine Bar. The relaxed and elegant setting gave everyone a chance to unwind as we head into the festive season.

The Official Welcome was delivered by Associate Reid Thornett and Solicitor Summer Pitts, whose opening remarks acknowledged our guests, outlined the intent of the evening and set the stage for a memorable celebration.

This year’s Sommeliers and Solicitors celebration reflects Bennett’s ongoing commitment to creating thoughtful and engaging experiences for our emerging leadership cohort. We are grateful to everyone who joined us, contributed to the vibrant atmosphere and helped make the event a highlight of our 2025 calendar.

We look forward to continuing to build on these relationships in the year ahead and welcoming you back to future Bennett events.

Thank you for celebrating with us.

Our Bennett team in attendance included, Senior Associate Michelle Hankey, Associates Andrew Filing, Monique Vincent and Reid Thornett  and Solicitors,  Chloe Placzek, Dr Dominic Dagbanja, Eliza Fletcher, Jessica Haddad, Mark Donaldson, Pragya Srivastava, Summer Pitts and William Bevan.
