July Messenger: Out Now!

  • 01/07/2026

We’ve got a very special Messenger for you this month, published with our partners at Document Direct.

To mark Fran’s retirement at the end of this month and her decades of service to Manchester Law Society, we have dedicated this issue to be a ‘Fran-focused’ edition.

We’ve somehow managed to keep this a secret from Fran, so she’ll be finding this out along with you. We’re sorry in advance for the photos, Fran!

Read our cover story ‘The End of an (Eccles-Bech) Era’, written by Council Member Jeff Lewis, which traces Fran’s journey and her role at MLS: where it all began, the key moments and initiatives throughout the years, and the qualities that have made her such an indomitable and treasured figure in our local legal community.

 
This month’s edition also includes:

You can read it online or download it


Why not join in the conversation and share YOUR news with YOUR community.

Tell us all about your:

  • New starters and promotions
  • Award wins
  • Charity work
  • Wellbeing initiatives
  • Interesting cases
  • Your pet!

The deadline for the August edition is Friday 24th of July.

Don’t forget Manchester Law Society Members get their articles published FREE OF CHARGE!

Please submit your articles in a Word document or similar format, with a photo, by emailing  messenger@manchesterlawsociety.org.uk

We look forward to hearing from you.
