Last week, I journeyed to Edinburgh – the last of the 3 new locations added to The 500 Club event line up for 2024 (alongside Southampton and Newcastle).

Although initially a grey morning, the clouds eventually gave way to blue skies and bright sunshine.

I began my day with a slew of productive meetings around central Edinburgh, before heading to The Cambridge Bar to host our informal networking event in the evening. Upon arriving at the venue, I greeted our co-hosts from Asertis and CAPA and enjoyed a quick (and overdue!) catch up post Summer break as guests began making an appearance.

For our first in the city, the event was well-attended by litigators, insolvency practitioners, lenders and accountants from top firms such as AAB, Dentons, Harper Macleod, Johnston Carmichael, Middlebrooks, PwC, RSM and Teneo.

As always, it was great to see everyone participating in engaging conversations over drinks in a relaxed setting.

Attendees were eager to learn about our events and showed enthusiasm for similar future gatherings in the area. Overall, the evening proved a great opportunity for us and other attendees to network, discuss their fields, and meet industry peers. It was a successful occasion that showed the potential for future engagements in Scotland.

This Thursday (26^th September), my colleagues Mike, Elizabeth and Caitlin head to London, and I’ll be back to host our final Liverpool event of the year on Thursday 10^th October.

Our aim at these events is to bring together likeminded professionals from the insolvency, finance, legal, and related fields to network and connect in an informal setting.

The 500 Club regularly takes place across the UK, in cities including Birmingham, Manchester, London, Bristol and Liverpool. Check the full 2024 calendar and learn more about The 500 Club.
