Evershed's clients shook off the January blues recently at the law firm's alternative Christmas party.

The event had a "fizz and chips" theme and guests were served fish goujons and chips in newspaper cones accompanied by a glass of champagne.

Eversheds managing partner Chris Hugill said: "Everybody's diaries get very full in December so we decided to hold our party in January.

"The idea and food proved to be very popular and it was great to catch up with people when things are slightly less hectic."
