The recent Travers Smith Braithwaite annual golf day turned into a gripping encounter with head of corporate finance Spencer Summerfield entering into combat with a cold-blooded reptile.

No, it wasn’t a fistfight with managing partner Chris Carroll. Summerfield stood on an adder on the fairway. The snake (the adder – for clarification) then made a lunge for the lawyer. Unfortunately, he jumped out of the way in time.
