A Yorkshire law firm is inviting the next generation of Yorkshire’s business leaders to attend its latest Next Generation Networking (NGN) event in Leeds later this month.

Taking place on Thursday 1st October from 6pm to 9pm at Chance & Counters on Merrion Street, the free event, which is organised by LCF Law, is aimed at professionals with fewer than five years’ post-qualification experience and those in the early stages of their professional services careers.

Hosted by LCF Law’s junior lawyers, the initiative has been designed to help young professionals build meaningful connections with peers who are likely to become future decision-makers across the region’s business community.

Rather than traditional networking formats, the evening will offer a relaxed and informal environment centred around board games, with attendees able to choose from more than 500 games while enjoying complimentary food and drinks.

Structured activities will also help facilitate introductions and encourage relationship-building among guests from a range of sectors.

Ragan Montgomery, Managing Partner at LCF Law, said: “Building strong professional relationships early in a career can have a lasting impact, both personally and professionally. Our NGN events bring together ambitious young professionals from across Yorkshire in a welcoming environment where conversations happen naturally.

“Yorkshire has an exceptional pool of emerging talent within its professional services sector. By creating opportunities for people to connect outside formal business settings, we are encouraging collaboration, broadening networks and helping to establish relationships that will benefit individuals and businesses for years to come.

“We already have over 40 people signed up and we’re looking forward to welcoming both familiar faces and those attending for the first time for what promises to be an enjoyable and valuable evening.”

The event is free to attend, but places are limited and advance registration is essential. Young professionals interested in attending should email Sam Durling at sdurling@lcf.co.uk.
