This summer, our team took part in Rowcroft Hospice’s Accumulator Challenge — a fundraising initiative with a creative twist. Each participating organisation was given £50 and tasked with turning it into as much as possible, all in support of Rowcroft’s vital work in the community.
We embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and imagination. From toy sales and dress-down days to a virtual horse racing evening, a clothing rack, and even a firm tuck shop, our team found inventive ways to keep the donations flowing. The result? A fantastic £3,340.00 raised for Rowcroft Hospice.
What made the challenge even more rewarding was the friendly competition with other brilliant local companies. We’re proud to share that our efforts earned us third place overall — a testament to the dedication and creativity of everyone involved.
The final celebration took place at Twenty1 in Torquay, where teams gathered to reflect on their fundraising journeys. The evening was warm and welcoming, with delicious food (those charcuterie boards were a highlight!) and great company. Scott Richard’s Linda Rogers, Jazmine Montier, Mark Deakin, and Hayden Lusty were delighted to accept our certificate from Rowcroft’s Lisa Whittaker.
We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts, and to Rowcroft Hospice for the incredible work they continue to do across South Devon. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful initiative.
We are delighted to announce the commencement of Solicitor Apprenticeships for Jazmine Montier and Lily Thorp, beginning this Monday 22nd September.
Jazmine will be starting her apprenticeship in our Commercial Property department, while Lily will begin her first seat in Family Law.
We extend our warmest congratulations to both on this significant milestone in their legal careers. It is a privilege to support their development, and we look forward to witnessing their continued growth and achievements within the firm.

A big thank you to our wonderful TeamSR who donated, baked, and helped run our fundraising stall today — and to the amazing local community who came along to purchase cakes, toys, homemade lemonade, and books in support of Rowcroft Hospice.
Together, we raised £396.55, which takes us another step closer to our final fundraising goal as part of Rowcroft’s Accumulator Challenge.
Every penny makes a difference, and we’re so grateful for your support.

Our team had a fantastic time at this year’s Sports Day showdown between the Junior Law Society and Devon & Somerset Law Society—featuring timeless classics like the egg & spoon race, 3-legged dash, and bean bag tossing.
Everyone was split into two teams, and we’re proud to say our TeamSR were on the winning side! 
Here’s a snap of our crew post-race—smiles, sunshine, and just a little bit of competitive flair.
