'Sir Joshua Hassan Lectures' announced

James Levy QC, Senior Partner at leading law firm Hassans, announced last night at the firms 70th Anniversary Staff Cocktail Party at the Caleta Hotel, the launch of the ‘Sir Joshua Hassan Lectures’.

The lectures, in memory of Mr Levy’s uncle Sir Joshua Hassan, the longest serving Chief Minister of Gibraltar and founder of the firm, will take place annually around Spring time. The lectures will be held in Gibraltar and will be presented by a leading figure/VIP on issues pertinent to Gibraltar.

The first lecture will be presented by the Rt Hon Michael Howard QC MP. The selection, by the partners of Hassans of Mr Howard as our first speaker is regarded as especially appropriate given Mr Howard’s credentials, like Sir Joshua, as both a politician and lawyer.

The lectures will kick start our countdown to the firm’s 75th Anniversary Event which we hope will mark a milestone in celebrating its success and growth.

Hassans was the first firm in Gibraltar to break away from the traditional, and usually closed, family based firm. Hassans opened its doors to legal practitioners from varied backgrounds, providing an environment in which hard work and merit form the basis of advancement and recognition.
Mr Levy commented “I am extremely proud to lead such an exceptional team of people. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, staff, suppliers and press for their loyalty and support and we look forward to working together with them all in the years ahead”.
