……NOTE TO SELF UKREiiF SPECIAL…… When sitting opposite your line manager while entertaining Irwin Mitchell clients and contacts to mark the start of UKREiiF in Leeds at the excellent Chaophraya Thai restaurant, try to remember your wife’s regular observation that you have a habit of gesticulating too much while talking. If you had done so last night, you may have avoided knocking over a full pint of lager, which collided with a glass full of iced water, before the combined contents of both smashed glasses then flowed into the lap of your line manager, who was wearing light beige trousers. Committing the said act just days before your annual appraisal with him wasn’t particularly good timing either was it? At least you could take comfort in the fact that you narrowly avoided adding his glass of red wine to the career-ending cocktail. Which ironically makes you a glass half-full kind of person. Recommendations for express dry cleaners in Central Leeds should be gathered. Sharpish.

This week I had the privilege of attending the Irwin Mitchell Partner Conference in Manchester — an inspiring few days focused on leadership, growth, and the opportunities ahead for FY27. A real highlight was hearing from Kevin Gaskell, whose experience transforming iconic businesses such as Porsche and BMW brought powerful insights into leadership effectiveness, building high-performing teams, and creating a shared vision that people genuinely want to be part of. One message particularly stood out: great leadership is about inspiring colleagues, creating belief, and empowering people to achieve what can sometimes feel impossible. It was fantastic to connect with so many talented colleagues across the business, share ideas, and reflect on the exciting future ahead. Looking forward to a successful, ambitious, and prosperous FY27. #IrwinMitchell #leadership #partnership

Today is Spinal Injuries Awareness Day ✨ An important opportunity to raise awareness of spinal cord injury and recognise the incredible people and organisations who support those living with SCI every single day. A huge thank you to the Spinal team at Leicester Royal Infirmary for inviting us to be part of the day and help share awareness of spinal cord injury and the impact it has on individuals and families. It was also so lovely to see Karen Biggs from the SIA. To everyone who works tirelessly to support the SCI community — healthcare professionals, charities, carers, families, and advocates — thank you for everything you do. Your support truly makes a difference. Sarah Downs #SpinalInjuriesAwarenessDay #SCI #SpinalCordInjury #Awareness #Support #leicester Irwin Mitchell

Private Client Tax Partner (CTA) Irwin Mitchell is investing further in its market‑leading Private Client Tax practice and is seeking a CTA‑led Partner to play a key role in its continued growth. This is a genuine market‑facing opportunity for an experienced private client tax specialist who combines strong technical credentials with a commercial mindset and enjoys developing trusted adviser relationships with HNW and UHNW clients and their intermediaries. The role is particularly attractive to a CTA in accountancy practice who wants to continue delivering high‑end, technical private client tax advice, but within a fully integrated national law firm rather than a standalone tax or compliance‑led environment. You will work closely with lawyers and accountants across the firm, advising individuals, family offices, trustees, entrepreneurs, OMB’s and international clients, with collaboration built into how we serve clients. What differentiates Irwin Mitchell – and is often cited by both clients and laterals who join us – is our integrated private client model. We bring together: Deep, specialist CTA‑led private client tax advisory expertise A fully integrated in‑house tax compliance accountancy team (personal and corporate) The breadth, profile and infrastructure of a full‑service national law firm This allows our tax partners to focus on complex advisory work, client relationships and growth, while offering clients a seamless service without the fragmentation of multiple advisers. We are keen to speak with someone who is technically confident, commercially aware and motivated by practice development. You will be CTA qualified (ACA/ACCA also welcome), with broad experience across trusts, estates, inheritance tax, capital gains tax and international private client matters. A desire to build a profile in the market, develop networks and shape the direction of a growing practice is essential. Confidential discussions are welcomed.

What an amazing night at The Probate Industry Awards for our Will Trust and Estate Disputes Team (WTED) Irwin Mitchell – and a win to top it off! I’m incredibly proud of our fantastic team. The judges’ comments were particularly encouraging, highlighting our adoption and practical use of AI, as well as our collaborative and truly holistic approach to client work. Recognition like this is a real testament to the passion, innovation and teamwork that goes on behind the scenes every day. A huge thank you to our team, our amazing partners and new head Claire-Marie Cornford and thank you to Brendan O'Shea for the video. #probies2026

Really enjoyed hosting the in person PM Forum Midlands networking event today at the Irwin Mitchell Birmingham office, led by Hannah Westropp alongside Simon P MARSHALL . It was one of those sessions where everyone quickly got stuck in, sharing the real frustrations that come up across marketing, comms and BD in professional services (and realising we’re all dealing with very similar challenges!) It was a chance to swap ideas and practical solutions, with lots of honest insight from across different organisations. It was wonderful catching up with some familiar faces, old colleagues and friends, while also meeting some great new people. And fab to meet new Midlands commitee members Leanne Theaker, Kloé Wright and Kiran Sandhu DipM ACIM . Always good to leave these events with fresh perspectives (and a bit of reassurance you’re not the only one navigating it all!). Looking forward to the next one 👏 #professionalservices #businessdevelopment #marketing

Great to be part of hosting the Irwin Mitchell National Amputation Conference today in Manchester, it was an event fully centred on the growing role of AI in the amputation space. Days like this really highlight how lucky I am to work alongside such a fantastic team across Events, BD and marketing alongside our fabulous solicitors and Support & Rehab coordinators, bringing together an informative and forward thinking event for those working within the amputation community 👏 What stood out most was how AI is already shaping rehabilitation and outcomes for amputees, not just in theory, but in real, tangible ways that are starting to make a difference 💡 Hearing from our client Liv and her lived experience brought a powerful and human perspective to the conversations, grounding everyone in what truly matters ❤️ A definite highlight was meeting our keynote speaker, Paralympic gold medallist Richard Whitehead MBE a genuinely motivating way to round off such an insightful day 🥇 Proud to have played a part in an event that combined innovation, lived experience and collaboration to push the conversation forward 🚀

This was quite the intro to our Amputation Conference in Manchester. Brilliant stuff Richard Biggs Irwin Mitchell
