Partners and Pastries - Business Networking Event

Our first 2026 Partners and Pastries networking event is hosted by our partner Shakespeare Martineu in Nottingham.

Join us at their Nottingham Office, on Thursday 12th February, from 8:00am - 10:00am:

• Breakfast Refreshments
• Welcome from Sam Stephens, TBAT Innovation
• Brief introduction from our Partner Host, Roger Harcourt, Head of Office and Partner

• Networking Opportunities
• 5 x 90 second Partner Pitches

Priority will be given to current Partners on the TBAT Innovation Ltd Partner Referral Scheme and Shakespeare Martineau Clients. Spaces are limited, therefore booking is essential. Maximum of 1 ticket per organisation due to demand.

Exclusivity is granted to Shakespeare Martineau for this event, therefore we are unable to accept registrations from other full legal service organisations.

We are inviting Partners to take a 90-second pitch slot - selected Partners will be advised prior to the event. If you are interested in pitching, please email am9yIHwgdGJhdCAhIGNvICEgdWs=.

If you are not currently a TBAT Innovation Partner, please get in touch, if you'd like to be considered to attend.
