THE LAW SOCIETY OF ENGLAND AND WALES
BICENTENARY NETWORKING DRINKS RECEPTION
Marsham Court Hotel, Bournemouth - Thursday 10 July 2025
To mark the bicentenary of The Law Society, members of Bournemouth & District Law Society and Dorset Law Society gathered for a celebratory drinks reception at the beautiful Marsham Court Hotel, with stunning views of the coastline.
The event formed part of the Law Society’s nationwide bicentenary tour - a year-long celebration of connection, reflection, and engagement with members across England and Wales. Over the course of the year, Law Society office holders have visited more than 25 locations domestically and internationally, including Bournemouth, to honour 200 years of supporting solicitors and upholding the rule of law.
The evening was made even more special by the presence of Mark Evans, Vice President of The Law Society, who delivered an engaging and thoughtful talk reflecting on the Society’s history and its evolving role in the legal profession. His visit underscored the importance of regional law societies as partners in progress and highlighted the vital role local solicitors play in their communities.
It was a memorable evening of celebration, connection and reflection on two centuries of legal excellence — and a reminder of the strength and unity of our profession, both locally and nationally.
