Hawkins Hatton had a licence to thrill its clients
HAWKINS Hatton Corporate Lawyers has been entertaining clients for the last 15 years at Weston Park and this has turned into one of the most prestigious business events in the West Midlands’ business calendar.
In that time, this firm (more affectionally known as HH) has worked incredibly hard in creating a name and reputation which cannot be surpassed by any other niche corporate practice outside of London. This is acknowledged by Chambers and Partners and Legal 500, the only two journals who rank lawyers and law firms nationally and internationally. It is also the place where HH writes its global editorials in respect of the UK.
HH is remarkably earnest, which can be seen through its hard work during difficult times to maintain relevance and to continue to evolve in order to meet the exacting standards set by it for its clients, who have grown to be close friends, sticking by HH through thick and thin.
This was reinforced at HH’s two latest events themed Skyfall, during which HH extracted iconic characteristics of James Bond, such as commitment, loyalty and diligence, and compared these to the characteristics of its guests in attendance who were, as contemporaries, more than a match for Scaramanga.
You do not need a ‘Golden Gun’, you just need dedicated people who will fight your corner.
The dinners were not all about Bond, but also focused on the topic of bonds, more specifically how these brought an end to the last Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwasi Kwarteng and his Prime Minister, Liz Truss. This was a prelude to discussions on QE (quantative easing) and QT (quantative tightening) and how powerful the bond market can be in eliminating chancellors and prime ministers alike.
“You all share a likeness to James
Bond,” said Colin Rodrigues, corporate partner at Hawkins Hatton as Harminder Sandhu agreed enthusiastically, both fondly sharing memories of friends, old and new.
The evening ended on a high for both clients and professional advisers, who came to celebrate not just HH’s achievements, but to revel in how they have helped UK PLC keep the wheels of business turning.
