Norfolk Lawyers do Countdown
Another cracking evening at the Forum. Its official, lawyers of Leathes Prior Solicitors are the runaway winners of Norfolk Lawyers Do Countdown 2026, despite an epic attempt to overhaul them from ‘2025 Teapot Holders’ NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD. In a fun evening sponsored by Smith & Pinching, they proved their own team name, ‘Consonantly Getting Things Wrong’ incorrect, by taking the lead in round 3 and hanging on to it to the end, despite NORFOLK COMMUNITY LAW SERVICE LTD securing the ‘Countdown Conundrum’ in one last gasp attempt to catch up.
So, the gauntlet is thrown down to any firm who can take the ‘teapot’ from Leathes Prior Solicitors next year. Roll on 2027! Thanks must go Mark Fitch, ‘Miss Jennings’, Steve N Allen and Society President Milan Pandit for keeping order, the score, making some pretty tough adjudications and entertaining the teams.
Pictured, left to right, Billy Coughlin, Dylan O. Matthew Swash, Milan Pandit and Jonathan Pace of NCLS, handing over the ‘teapot’.
