We’re proud to share that our commitment to exceptional client care and workplace wellbeing has been acknowledged with two prestigious shortlistings at the Clio Modern Law Awards 2025.

Our Head of Private Client, Holly Chantler, has been shortlisted for Lawyer of the Year, reflecting her dedicated approach to guiding clients through complex personal matters. Her nomination recognises nearly two decades of supporting individuals and families with sensitive legal challenges, combining deep technical expertise with genuine understanding.

While our HR team, Jenny Turner, Michela James and Michelle Fragniere, have also earned recognition with a shortlisting for the Workplace Wellbeing award, highlighting the firm’s investment in creating an environment where our legal professionals can deliver their best work for clients.

Managing Partner, Catherine Fisher, commented:

“These nominations reflect our approach to legal services – delivering excellence through our people. Holly’s shortlisting acknowledges her thoughtful leadership in private client work, whilst our HR team’s recognition demonstrates how supporting our people translates into better outcomes for those we serve.”

The Clio Modern Law Awards, now in their twelfth year, are among the most respected accolades in the UK legal sector. They celebrate law firms and legal professionals who demonstrate excellence in modernising legal services delivery, enhancing client care and embracing innovation.

The awards are judged by an independent panel of legal experts, business leaders and industry specialists who assess entries against stringent criteria focusing on innovation, client service excellence and business transformation.

Winners will be announced at the awards ceremony which will be held in Manchester on the 6th March.
