Ten years of the VdRH: summer party with the Hessian Minister of Justice

The non-profit Association of Junior Lawyers of Hesse (Verein der Rechtsreferendare Hessen e.V. – VdRH) held its by now traditional summer party at the offices of DLA Piper in Frankfurt – and celebrated its tenth anniversary at the same time.

The keynote address was given by Prof. Dr. Roman Poseck, Hessian Minister of Justice. Dr. Martin Haller, Co-Managing Partner Germany at DLA Piper, welcomed the guests as host. Together with Dr. Björn Bronger, founder of the association and Chair of its supervisory board, the two cut the anniversary cake.

With panoramic views across Frankfurt, the celebration continued into the early hours.
