KMC LEGAL & FINANCE CHARITY BALL 2024
On Friday, 1st November 2024, we hosted an unforgettable evening of elegance and entertainment at the KMC Burlesque Charity Ball, at Sandon Hall. This memorable event was dedicated to supporting Birmingham Children’s Hospital and we were delighted to see such a wonderful turnout from our friends, clients, colleagues and supporters.
This year’s KMC Charity Ball was an extraordinary affair filled with glamour, live performances and incredible generosity. Guests arrived to a warm welcome with a Prosecco reception and live music from Annie Mai, setting the stage for a lively and engaging evening. As the night unfolded, attendees were treated to a gourmet four-course dinner, complemented by a saxophone performance that enhanced the ambiance of the beautifully decorated hall. The event included captivating burlesque performances and a live band, adding a unique and artistic flair that truly made the evening stand out.
A dedicated casino lounge offered guests a chance to try their luck, with tables set for classic games. Adding to the thrill, a charity raffle and a highly anticipated auction featured exclusive prizes generously donated by local businesses and supporters.
The KMC Legal & Finance team is proud to have hosted such a successful event. We are immensely grateful to everyone who attended, donated, and supported this worthy cause.
Thank you once again to all who helped make this event a resounding success. Together, we have contributed to a cause that will make a real difference in the lives of many families. Stay tuned for more updates on our fundraising achievements and future events!
Total amount raised for Birmingham Children's Hospital to be announced soon!
KMC's Charity Ball 2024 helped to raise thousands of pounds with every penny going directly to Birmingham Children’s Hospital to aid in their mission of providing life-changing care for children and their families.
Your contributions and goodwill have made a significant impact. The hospital is currently focused on enhancing its facilities, including improving the front entrance to create a more welcoming and comforting environment for children and parents alike.
Don't worry if you couldn't make it this year - there is still time to make a difference!
KMC Legal’s Bake-Off: Rising to the Challenge for Comic Relief
On Red Nose Day 2024, KMC Legal & Finance proved that when it comes to supporting good causes, we’re no half-baked operation. With a spread that included everything from Easter Egg cheesecake to Lucy Allen’s winning mini-egg brownie masterpiece, we demonstrated that our talents extend far beyond the legal arena.
Judged on taste, presentation, and complexity, our Charity Bake-Off for Comic Relief was a testament to our team’s creativity and spirit of generosity. Lucy, our head of Civil Litigation, whisked away the Best Baker Award.
Her victory, however, was merely the icing on the cake. The real win was the funds raised, which directly contributed to providing over 200 meals for children and families in need.
Lucy has since launched the Instagram page 'Healthy Recipes with Lucy' which we encourage you all to follow for some more award-winning recipes! @healthy.recipes_with_lucy
Embracing Team Spirit Beyond the Courtroom
KMC Legal ventured into new territory for its latest work social event, Houdini's Escape Room Experience. This initiative not only marked a refreshing change from the usual corporate gatherings but also highlighted the firm's innovative approach to fostering teamwork and camaraderie among its esteemed staff. The KMC Legal team was divided into two groups, each tackling a different escape room that promised an adventure almost as thrilling as their casework.
Unlocking Success: Escaping the Conventional Team Build
One team unraveled the mysteries of the chilling Room 13, cracking a murder case with a comfortable 12 minutes to spare, while their counterparts narrowly dodged the clutches of a harrowing prison officer to escape from Alcatraz, triumphing with a mere 45 seconds left on the clock. The team's victory has led KMC Legal to incorporate unconventional team-building activities as a regular part of their efforts to foster a positive and collaborative workplace culture.
KMC LEGAL & FINANCE CHARITY BALL 2023
A Glitzy Charity Ball Supporting Birmingham Children's Hospital
The team at KMC Legal & Finance organised this event with the aim of raising funds to help the hospital continue its invaluable work. As you may already know, Birmingham Children's Hospital has been a beacon of hope and healing for countless children and families in our community. Their unwavering dedication to providing top-notch medical care, support and comfort to children facing health challenges is nothing short of inspiring.
Last year's exclusive Charity Ball brought together experts and professionals from various fields to support this remarkable cause. The event was a celebration of unity and compassion, aimed at making a significant impact on the lives of these brave children.
This event raised over £3,000 but we are excited to announce that we will be doing it all again in 2024! This year's Charity Ball promises to be even bigger with more opportunities for your generosity to shine. We are deeply grateful for any help and support you can provide.
Your willingness to contribute means the world to us and, most importantly, to the children who benefit from the outstanding care provided by Birmingham Children's Hospital. We look forward to another incredible event in 2024!

Landed on our feet
No Boundary to our Success
Following our client seeking to sell some of his agricultural land to a developer, it became apparent that the professionals who had previously dealt with the registration of the boundary at HM Land Registry incorrectly dealt with the matter. Despite efforts to resolve with the adjacent land owner, our client was left heavily disadvantaged, losing tens of thousands of pounds.
Following vast correspondence, an early settlement was achieved for our client with those who registered the land, and a contribution to his legal fees.
Our client was ecstatic with the prompt settlement and payment.
