More than 300 people packed The Baltic in Gateshead to celebrate North East law firm Square One Law’s 15th anniversary.
Held in September, the event brought together staff, partners, clients and friends to celebrate 15 years of growth since the firm was founded in 2011.
Jean-Pierre van Zyl, head of the Employment team at Square One Law, said: "The anniversary event was a fantastic way to bring staff, clients, partners and friends of the firm together to celebrate the last 15 years and reflect on how far we've come.
"Many things have changed over the years, from technology and the challenges businesses face to the size and reach of our own firm.

"But our approach hasn't.
"We're here to be business champions: to give a view, find solutions and have our clients' backs.
"I think this was evident in the number of people who joined us to celebrate."
Square One Law was established with a mission to deliver clear, jargon-free legal advice tailored to each client’s needs.
The firm has expanded beyond the North East, particularly in Yorkshire, where its 18-strong Leeds team recently moved to a larger 3,000 sq ft office at 7 Park Row.
The celebration featured a DJ playing 2011 hits, retro arcade games, popcorn and ice cream stalls, plus food and drinks.
The firm also outlined plans to expand further in Yorkshire and support businesses in energy, technology, health and life sciences.
Mr van Zyl said: "We're proud of what we've achieved over 15 years, and there's plenty more we want to do.

"As businesses adapt to new technologies, changing markets and fresh opportunities, they need lawyers who understand what they're trying to achieve and help them make confident decisions.
"Our next chapter will build on the same principles that brought us here: working flexibly, speaking plainly and being firmly in our clients' corner."
