Today, our Bexleyheath office opened its doors for the first ever T G Baynes Legal Open Day, and what a morning it was! ⚖️

Students from Years 10–12 joined us to discover what life inside a law firm really looks like. They explored the areas of law we practise, learned about the many routes into a legal career and then took on the role of trainee solicitor themselves, tackling real-style case tasks in civil litigation, commercial property, conveyancing, family law and probate. Watching them hunt down the hidden clues in the case papers was a genuine highlight.

Thank you to and , who planned and delivered the whole program, Thanks also to , and everyone at the Bexleyheath office who supported on the day, and above all to the brilliant students who threw themselves into every task.

At T G Baynes we've been part of this community for 100+ years, and investing in the next generation of legal talent is something we care deeply about. Given the enthusiasm we saw, this won't be the last Legal Open Day.

Our colleague Simon Finn, sharing his story about living and working with Parkinson's - Parkinson's UK London, Parkinson's UK

"They pretty much said, “Do whatever you want. Come in as little or as much as you want."

July is Disability Pride Month and the theme is “The World Works Better With Us”. When Simon was diagnosed with Parkinson’s his workplace were accommodating and supportive, including kitting out his spare room as an office.

“My wife is a solicitor as well. Part of what she does is employment work, so she sees an awful lot of the good and the bad. She said they could not have been better.

“Since the loss of my driving license, I’ve been going in about once a month rather than once a week. As I can get really tired, it helps that I can be flexible.

"Everything just takes a bit longer now. You can still do everything; it just takes longer"

Being properly supported in work can really help both you and the working world around you. If you are in employment, there can be a lot of things to consider with your Parkinson’s diagnosis. We have broken down everything you need to know when you're working when you have Parkinson’s. This includes your legal rights in the workplace, continuing and adapting the way you work, and options for the future: https://prksn.uk/3QRah5c
