Stuart Flint, partner at Fisher German, said: "It is absolutely fantastic that we have already hit our fundraising target of £25,000, and as a business we are extremely proud to match-fund this in recognition of the efforts of our amazing colleagues, the many clients who have supported us and the collaboration of our excellent chosen charities.

The company has pledged to match-fund donations up to £25,000, meaning at least £50,000 will be shared between 25 charities.
So far, staff have walked, run, cycled, skied, roller-skated, sailed and even paddleboarded between office locations.
The challenge has also included horseback riding.
Additional fundraising activities have included bake sales, raffles, car boot sales, car washes, fetes, and quizzes.
