Smooth Sailing at our London Reception
On Sunday, 3 May 2026 we were delighted to host our 2026 Schlich Reception, welcoming our clients, colleagues and friends from all around the world to London.
As a firm proudly based on the south coast of England, we felt it was only fitting to host an event with a nautical theme, and the historic Golden Hinde was our venue of choice. The reconstruction of Sir Francis Drake’s 16th century galleon was a distinctive and memorable setting on the Thames for our reconnections with colleagues in the world of IP.
The evening was accompanied by a special musical contribution from our very own Bella Roberts, one of our Formalities Secretaries. Her performance was warmly received and provided a delightful soundtrack to the evening aboard the Golden Hinde.
It was a pleasure to meet, catch up and celebrate our longstanding friendships with so many of our international contacts, on what was, thankfully, a rain free bank holiday. We were grateful for such a strong turnout and would like to thank everyone who stepped aboard and helped make the event such an enjoyable part of the holiday weekend.
