Just Employment Law, a Glasgow-based legal firm which last year raised £60,000 for charity in one evening, is to host 500 guests at its summertime fundraiser this year.

The practice’s Summer Ball will return to Glasgow’s Radisson Blu Hotel on 15 June with hopes of repeating its fundraisingsuccessandpromoting further awareness on behalf of its charity partner Pancreatic Cancer Scotland.

This year’s event is set to feature appearances by comedian and presenter Des Clarke

and radio host Tam Cowan. Fighting pancreatic cancer has been a personal goal for managing director David Mcrae, who lost his mother and younger brother to the disease.

He said: “I wanted to channel my grief in a meaningful way to share with the wider public the startling and depressing statistics associated with pancreatic cancer that I had been ignorant of until it directly affected me and my family.

“It was then that I resolved to make a difference if I could.”
