Leading Nigerian law firm, Jackson, Etti & Edu has celebrated its 20th anniversary with three successful events in London and Lagos.
   
The firm held client’s dinner at Claridges Mayfair, London, a fund raising Charity Walk Against Cancer and a Dinner Dance at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island for current staff and alumni.
   
The Managing Partner, Koye Edu said: “We decided to have a clients’ dinner in London as it was the ideal meeting point for our diverse local and international clients. Our fundraising Charity Walk had great meaning to us, as we lost one of our Partners to cancer so we had a walk in her honour and to also create awareness on the benefit of early detection. We also raised money from our Walk and made a donation to a reputable Cancer Support Organisation.”

   
According to Edu, the celebration is dedicated to the people who have supported them throughout their remarkable 20-year journey.

“The Dinner Dance was an opportunity to thank all our staff and give awards for staff who have worked with us for over 10 years and to recognise our alumni who have also played a role in our 20-year story,”he stated.
 
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, while delivering the keynote address at Claridges – Mayfair, recognized the firm’s commitment to demonstrating the capabilities of Nigerian institutions and projecting a positive image of Nigeria to the rest of the world. He also congratulated the firm’s Partners and staff on the landmark celebration.
