Speaking on the successful conclusion of Season 2, Shubham Malhotra, Founder, LawStrings Management, said: “When we started this initiative, our vision was simple, to create a platform where lawyers could step away from the confines of the courtroom and boardroom, come together through sport, and build genuine connections in a more informal environment. The response to Season 2 has been incredibly encouraging and is a strong validation of that vision. Seeing leading law firms and in-house legal teams compete, support one another and enjoy the spirit of the game has been immensely rewarding. We are already looking forward to making Season 3 bigger, stronger and even more engaging for the legal community.”
The successful conclusion of Season 2 marks another milestone for LawStrings’ efforts to create innovative platforms for engagement within the legal ecosystem, with the tournament continuing to combine sport, professional networking, wellness and community building.
