Membership and Social Committee

Whilst other committees will deal with the more… ‘serious stuff’, the ‘M and S’ committee’s job is to come up with ideas/arrange events that will promote collaboration and friendships amongst Manchester’s lawyers (and also encourage more firms to join MLS and grow the membership).

MLS is second to none in the number and caliber of events it organises. The challenge for the committee is to come up with events, that are physically deliverable, with what are limited resources.

Events in 2024 included not one, but two, legendary Posh Pub Quizzes at Manchester Hall, the launch of the MLS ambassador scheme, Lunch with the Leader of Manchester City Council, the first ever MLS football tournament, two Menopause cafés and a fantastic ‘Pride Brunch’ (organised by the EDI committee).

Without doubt the showpiece event of 2024 though (as it is every year) was the Manchester Legal Awards.

It was a spectacular event where the great and good from Manchester’s legal community received accolades for their achievements.

The amount of organisation needed for that event alone is staggering and takes months of meticulous preparation from MLS towers.

This year’s awards promises to be the biggest and best ever and is being hosted at a brand new venue – the fantastic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel.

It’s important that the committee has representation from all cohorts of MLS membership so that we can try to organise events for all.

The ultimate goal is to make sure that there is something of interest for everyone.

If there’s something you think we should be doing, or that we could do better the message is simple – come join us! If you are interested in getting involved please email the MLS team.
