Global law photography competition

Calling all lawyers with an interest in the big picture! LexisNexis has partnered with Obelisk Support to run the first Global Law Photography Competition.

This year’s theme is climate change. The competition is open to all lawyers, legal professionals and students. All funds raised will be donated to ClientEarth, an environmental law NGO.  

The winners will be announced on 10 July at a party and gallery presentation. Judges include Simone Davidson, Head of LexisPSL Environment, and Marcus Jamieson-Pond, professional photographer. The awards will be presented by Dana Denis-Smith, CEO of Obelisk Support.

The evening will be a great opportunity to view excellent photography, hear more about ClientEarth and network with other legal professionals.
