Lovells may not have topped the 2007 profits per equity partners charts but the firm was revelling in sporting triumph earlier this month after slogging its way to victory in the inaugural Michael Page Legal Cricket Sixes (six players per team) at Charterhouse School in Surrey.
Lovells clinched the trophy after a surprisingly tight final against Yankee upstart Faegre & Benson, whose lawyers had given up rounders (or ‘baseball’, as they call it in the US) to play a real sport for the day.
Skippered by finance lawyer Hugh Rosenvinge – taker of four wickets in as many balls earlier on in the tournament – Lovells celebrated its victory in the reduced format of the game with some appropriately scaled-down trophies.
