Manchester Legal Awards 2015

Posted in Latest News on 6 Mar 2015

Last night a group of us donned our suits and ballgowns to attend the glittering Manchester Legal Awards at The Midland Hotel in Manchester. Established 6 years ago, the Awards celebrate the very best of the North West legal sector with categories recognising everyone from big corporate players to small boutique practices; and senior partners to up-and-coming stars.

And what a night we had! As well as being a chance to get dressed up and socialise with the legal community, it was great to be part of such a fantastic event that celebrates outstanding talent across the region.
