Although summer feels a little further away now, we're looking back on a fantastic evening at The Dreys. ☀

In September, colleagues from across the firm came together for our inaugural Summer Party in the beautiful woodland surroundings of The Dreys in Sittingbourne. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect, celebrate and enjoy great food, live music and a relaxed summer evening together.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening such a special occasion.

🎥 Take a look at some of the highlights from the evening below.

Making a Will is an important step in protecting your loved ones and ensuring your wishes are carried out. But when was the last time you reviewed it, and would your family know where to find it when the time comes?

While keeping your Will up to date is important, it is equally important to ensure your loved ones know where it is stored and who to contact. Without this information, families can face unnecessary stress, delays and uncertainty at an already difficult time.

In our latest insight, Emma Hegarty explores why knowing where your Will is kept is a simple but vital part of ensuring your wishes are respected and your loved ones are supported when they need it most.

Recent employment law cases continue to shape how employers manage their people, with developments across unfair dismissal, discrimination, flexible working, whistleblowing and workplace conduct creating new considerations and potential risks for organisations.

Employment Law specialist Abigail Brightwell will review recent tribunal and court decisions, discuss their practical implications for employers, and share guidance on how organisations can reduce risk and remain compliant in an evolving legal landscape.

It was a pleasure to bring together such a knowledgeable panel at this year’s East Kent Ploughing Match to discuss the future of rural land use.

Chaired by Chris Eriksson-Lee and featuring Ross Wingfield, Guy Nevill, Marion Regan and David Bedford, our panel explored how rural land is increasingly being asked to support food production, biodiversity, water management, housing, recreation and economic growth, and what that means for farmers, landowners and rural businesses. A key theme throughout the discussion was the importance of taking a long-term, collaborative approach to ensuring these priorities can work alongside one another.

From biodiversity net gain and natural capital to planning, connectivity and landscape-scale collaboration, the discussion highlighted both the opportunities and challenges facing the rural sector, as well as the value of bringing together different perspectives to share knowledge and ideas.

A big thank you to our panellists for sharing their expertise and to everyone who joined us at the event.

We had a fantastic day at this year’s East Kent Ploughing Match Association, bringing together clients, contacts and the wider rural community from across Kent.

We were delighted to host our panel discussion, "Growth vs Nature: Is there a better way to develop rural land?", chaired by Christopher Eriksson-Lee and featuring Ross Wingfield (Nature Works), Guy Nevill (Birling Estate), Marion Regan (Hugh Lowe Farms) and David Bedford (DHA Planning).

The discussion covered some of the key opportunities and challenges facing farmers, landowners and rural businesses, including food production, biodiversity, planning, natural capital and the future of rural land use. It was great to hear such a thoughtful range of perspectives and to see so much engagement from those attending.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our marquee throughout the day, to our panellists for sharing their expertise, and to the organisers and volunteers for delivering another excellent event.
