Herbert Smith LLP is proud of its ongoing relationship with the National Portrait Gallery, with our Regency Partnership continuing throughout 2008. This represents a continuation of our association with the Gallery, following our partnership during its 150th anniversary celebrations and the sponsorships of the Cecil Beaton and Lee Miller retrospective exhibitions.
The National Portrait Gallery houses a unique collection of personalities and faces from the late Middle Ages to the present day. A national pantheon of the greatest names in British history and culture, it includes kings and queens, courtiers and courtesans, politicians and poets, soldiers and scientists, artists and writers, philosophers and film stars.
For information on the Gallery's current and forthcoming exhibitions visit its website here.
Our sponsorship programme is part of the firm's broad commitment to the community. This includes activities such as mentoring students in neighbourhood schools and providing pro bono legal advice to those in need.
