A spring badminton afternoon
Minton Law Firm held a badminton afternoon for its lawyers, who split into several teams and played a series of matches that drew applause and laughter from the sidelines throughout. Between games the players talked about work and life away from the court, deepening friendships between colleagues and strengthening the team's cohesion. The event was one of a series of staff activities meant to keep the team healthy and used to working together, which the firm treats as a foundation for its practice.
Minton Law Firm recently held a lively badminton session.
On the day, the lawyers taking part were divided into several teams, and each of them showed both individual skill and a sense of team play. Every fine return and every well-placed serve drew warm applause from the onlookers, and laughter filled every corner of the hall.
Away from the matches the lawyers talked with one another, sharing the small things of work and daily life. That deepened understanding and friendship between colleagues and did as much for the team's cohesion and its habit of working together.
The afternoon was not only a reminder of how much pleasure there is in sport but a strengthening of the ties between colleagues. It left the firm more convinced than before that good health and good teamwork are the foundation on which a practice grows.
