Good morning, Good afternoon, good evening to all our readers – and particularly this month a big hello to those of you in Australia – you know who you are.

We hope this newsletter finds you well.  Here you will find your usual selection of legal news articles, which we hope you will find of interest, but more importantly, today, we would like to take a moment to recognise the outstanding efforts of one of our own – Dan Flowers.

Recently, Dan decided to run the Sheffield Half Marathon to raise funds for St Luke’s Hospice, a charity that provides vital care and support for people with life-limiting illnesses. Through his hard work and dedication, Dan managed to raise an impressive £700 in support of this worthy cause.

We are sure that you will join all of us here at LFBB in extending our heartfelt congratulations and gratitude to Dan for his incredible achievement. He is an inspiration to us all, and we feel privileged to have him as a part of our team.

For those of you who would like to show your support for Dan and the important work of St Luke’s Hospice, we encourage you to visit his fundraising page by clicking here . Every little bit helps, and your contribution can make a real difference to the lives of those in need.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and we look forward to sharing more updates with you in the future.  As always, if you think there there might be anything we can help you with, then please give us a call on 01142729721.
