Trethowans Marks Landmark Year at Annual Dorset Christmas Drinks, Supporting Local Charity
Trethowans, a leading law firm with offices in Bournemouth, Poole, Southampton, Salisbury and Winchester, hosted its annual Dorset Christmas drinks this year at Boom Battle Bar Bournemouth.
The event brought together colleagues and professional contacts from across Dorset and beyond, providing an opportunity to celebrate a successful year and look ahead to Trethowans’ exciting next chapter.
The evening featured a charity raffle to win a festive hamper, raising £1,000 for Downright Perfect, a Dorset-based charity supporting children and young people with Down syndrome and their families. Trustee Emma Cross said, “The funds raised will help the charity continue its work providing vital resources, community activities and guidance for families across the region.”
This year’s gathering followed a period of significant growth for Trethowans, including joining Lawfront in the spring, one of the UK’s fastest-growing legal services groups.
Mike Watson, Managing Partner at Trethowans, said, “This year has been truly transformative for Trethowans, not least with our integration into Lawfront. Becoming part of a group that shares our values and ambition brings huge opportunities for our people and our clients. It was fantastic to celebrate this milestone with so many of our contacts and friends.
Our Bournemouth and Poole offices continue to go from strength to strength, with new talent joining us throughout the year as we deepen our presence across the region. Hosting our Christmas drinks at Boom Battle Bar gave us the perfect setting to reflect on our success and look ahead to an ambitious 2026.”
Guests enjoyed a lively atmosphere, festive hospitality and the venue’s signature interactive games, marking a memorable end to a landmark year for Trethowans.
