We were delighted to bring together senior friends of the firm for a fireside chat between Tarun Bajaj, former Revenue and Economic Affairs Secretary of the Government of India, and Sanjiv Mehta, former Chairman and CEO of Hindustan Unilever, in Mumbai recently. Sanjiv and Tarun discussed India’s route to becoming the world’s third largest economy, the roles that the government and business have to play in realising that objective, and their forecasts for India’s growth in 2025.

We were delighted to sponsor a dinner last week in support of Tennis First, a UK-based charity expanding access to tennis and supporting young players to reach their potential, in the Champions’ Room at Wimbledon Centre Court. Over the past six years, Tennis First has helped over 200 British juniors compete internationally and further their careers, including Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper and Henry Searle. It was a privilege to support the event - and to hear from Stefan Edberg and Pat Cash on their journeys to becoming Wimbledon champions.

Our warmest congratulations to William Hague, chair of our International Advisory Board, on his appointment as Chancellor of the University of Oxford.
Lord Hague of Richmond will serve as the next Chancellor of Oxford University having won a majority of support in the final round of voting for the post. Lord Hague becomes the 160th recorded Chancellor in the University’s history, a role that dates back at least 800 years. ‘Thank you to my fellow Oxonians for placing such confidence in me. I regard being elected as the Chancellor of our university as the greatest honour of my life. I pay tribute to the other candidates, in particular for their commitment to the future of Oxford. What happens at Oxford in the next decade is critical to the success of the UK. 'I look forward to working closely with the Vice-Chancellor and her team, along with students and alumni, to build on their excellent work. My heart and soul are in Oxford and I will dedicate myself in the coming years to serving the University I love.’ More information ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eH5a3h2x

We are delighted to be partnering with the Clontarf Foundation, an important organisation that works to improve the education and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men in Australia. Andrew Tiernan and Pete McConnell, two colleagues in our Australia team, recently had the chance to spend some time in Australia’s Northern Territory, where they visited Clontarf Academies and fished for dinner, camped out, hiked and saw some millennia-old rock art with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander boys from the academies. Find out more about the Foundation and its work here: clontarf.org.au.
