THIRSTDAYS HANOGOVER DRINKS
First Thirstday has had a heavy Christmas. Too much partying over New Year too. Therefore, it will hangover until Friday and join forces with the Sheffield JLD.
Come along and help celebrate 2010 and crawl around the pubs and bars of Sheffield with a bunch of lawyers. Sounds to us like a good way to spend the last night of the first week back to work (or exams for some people).
When: 08 January 2010, 6.00pm (moving on around 6.30pm)
Where: SoYo, Rockingham Street and beyond…

Helen Keegan
Helen Keegan has recently moved from legal recruitment in to private practice joining No.1 rated Business Defence specialists Cartwright King.
Helen graduated from the University of Sheffield with an LLB Law (Hons) degree before completing the LPC at BPP Leeds. Having originally secured a training contract with a leading Int’l firm, Helen decided to change discipline and move into the world of legal recruitment; working initially for market leaders Michael Page before setting up her own recruitment consultancy NQUK. Although Helen has thoroughly enjoyed her time as a legal recruitment consultant it was always her intention to return to law and so when the opportunity presented itself to join the Business Defence team at Cartwright King the decision to make the move was easy.
Helen believes the business skills she has acquired over the past 3 years, coupled with her vast network of contacts will compliment the continued expansion of Cartwright King in the North. |
