Speaking after the win, Cormac Little, Competition & Regulation Partner at William Fry said “The BJAI Annual Corporate Challenge Quiz is a super event. Our sponsorship and participation gives great profile for the Firm. Most importantly, it also raises a lot of money for the Simon Community. A charity that is always deserving of support but particularly now given the ongoing housing crisis. In a closely-fought battle, we came with a late run to claim victory in this year’s quiz.  We look forward to trying to defend our crown in 2018.”
