• Calling all gardeners - your firm needs you!

  Send us a textGardening has transformed from an old-fashioned past-time to a popular trend in the past few years, and now, even law firms are getting in on the action.Firms like Eversheds, Switalskis and CANDEY are leading the charge, but there is so much more that could be done. After all, who wants to look at a grey bit of concrete all day.So as the Autumn weather sets in and as we all try to distract ourselves from the news, The Lawyer Podcast asks what difference gardens would make to law firms, which firms have the best gardens, and whether your firm needs to make more of an effort than a pot plant and a strip of manky grass.
