On 20 June 2024, Herbert Smith Freehills, in collaboration with the Emerald Network, hosted a networking event to celebrate Eid Al-Adha, the Islamic festival marking the end of the Hajj pilgrimage.
This event brought together colleagues and friends to celebrate and began with an inspiring opening speech by Rebecca Maslen-Stannage, Senior Partner at HSF. Rebecca’s words set the tone for the event, emphasizing the importance of cultural celebrations and the spirit of togetherness that Eid Al-Adha represents. This was followed by speeches from Faria Ali, Chair of NOTICED and Nusrat Zar, Partner at Herbert Smith Freehills.
Faria Ali, Chair of NOTICED said:
“The collaboration between NOTICED and the Emerald Network highlighted the commitment to diversity and inclusion within the community.
