Excellence Shortlist

The Law Society has published its shortlist for this year’s Excellence Awards.

Barristers, solicitors and legal teams across the sector are included. The awards will be presented at a black tie dinner on 22 October. Law Society president Robert Heslett says: “There’s no better way to promote the legal profession than to celebrate the excellence and dynamism that exists right across the profession. We can all benefit by recognising and learning from the achievements of the leaders and innovators in our profession. The best entrants will gain the accolade of winning the most prestigious awards in the legal calendar.”
