The event, now in its second year, was attended by representatives of local property developers, accountancy firms, architects, estate agents and hoteliers.

Guests were welcomed with a cocktail reception upon arrival at the Babel bar on the rooftop of the Bullitt Hotel, with a selection of drinks and finger foods served throughout the evening. The last remaining rays of the summer also allowed guests to enjoy views across the city from Babel’s terrace.

Gordon McElroy, director of MKB Law, said: “After the success of last year’s event, we wanted to go bigger and better this year, and Babel was the obvious choice of location to entertain our clients and colleagues. I would personally like to thank everyone who attend our social gathering, and we look forward to welcoming you again next year.”

The firm has published a full gallery of photographs from the event on its website.
