Port Moresby alumni reunion party

Port Moresby Managing Partner, and alumni partner sponsor, Richard Flynn, was delighted to host the first alumni event for the office in December 2018.

Richard said: "It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and catch up with everyone's news. We are very proud of our track record in guiding and mentoring our team, and it is great to hear that so many have progressed well in the legal profession and many other worthwhile causes. There is great value in our alumni network and I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone in the years to come."

London - Class of September 1998 reunion drinks

Ashurst partners Paul Miller and Simon Swann welcomed some of our London alumni to celebrate 20 years since joining Ashurst as trainees. Without exception the attendees were effusive about how good it was to catch up with people and how excellent the refreshments were (thanks to the catering team). The one downside was that a number of people did suffer a bit the next day…..
