Denney Lau hosts President’s Dinner 2024
On Friday 23 February 2024 partner Denney Lau had the honour and privilege of hosting the 147th President’s Annual Dinner for the Sheffield and District Law Society. Denney has been president for the last year.
In an inspirational speech before the attendees, Denney acknowledged his progress from a humble background where he was the first in his family to attend University.
Upon arrival in the United Kingdom as an immigrant, he was unable to speak the language and was, in effect, ‘without a voice’. He became a solicitor to provide others with a voice and ensure their 
right to be heard. Having embarked on that course, however, he never imagined he would be the holder of such a prestigious position.
Denney extended his thanks to all of his fellow lawyers for continuing to provide people with that voice, and attending the dinner to make it such a special occasion.
As well as presenting an opportunity for local lawyers to get together, awards were given to those locally who have excelled in their respective specialisms.
