Ellis Fairbank, sponsors of the Firm's five a side football competition the Ellis Fairbank Firm Fives is sponsoring the Scottish Young Lawyers Association football team kits in Glasgow and Edinburgh. 

“The SYLA provides an invaluable service to young Scottish lawyers by representing the interests of its members, establishing and maintaining relations with other associations, and providing opportunities for lawyers to socially interact with each other away from the office," said David Gannon, practice head of the Scottish Legal division of Ellis Fairbank.

“As we are expanding our legal recruitment offering in Glasgow and Edinburgh, we were keen to support an organisation that was doing positive things for local lawyers. SYLA seemed the perfect choice and by sponsoring the organisation’s football kits it will also help us to build strong brand awareness amongst our present and future target markets.”

John Pope, SYLA committee member and manager of the football teams, says: “With the new football season in full swing, we wanted to give the SYLA football teams the best chance of doing well, possibly winning some silverware. We can only achieve this with the help and support of local individuals and businesses. Ellis Fairbank’s sponsorship has been a big help for us and we can now focus on the season ahead.”
