The family law team at the national firm, Stephensons, has been shortlisted for two awards at the prestigious Lexis Nexis Family Law Awards 2024.
Stephensons, which has offices in Manchester, Wigan, across the North West as well as London, was named Family Law Firm of the Year for the North at last year’s ceremony. The firm has been shortlisted once again for Family Law Firm of the Year (North) and has also been shortlisted for Children Law Team of the Year.
The nominations follow the firm being recognised as a tier one family law firm by the Legal 500 for the second year in a row.
The Family Law Awards brings the family law community together for its biggest night of the year, celebrating excellence in the profession. Now in its 13th year, the Family Law Awards were launched in 2011 to recognise the important work of family lawyers and celebrate their successes and achievements.
The shortlist of firms nominated for awards this year was chosen by a judging panel made up of the heads of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution, the Association of Lawyers for Children and the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives, along with Family Law editors and publishing professionals.
Commenting on the shortlist, Victoria Gethin, Partner and head of the family law department at Stephensons said:
“I am so happy that our wonderful team has been recognised once again on the national stage. We were completely ecstatic to win the award last year, so to be recognised once again in two categories is a superb achievement.
“Every single member of our team plays a vital role in supporting our clients and guiding them through often challenging circumstances. They do that with great sensitivity and the utmost professionalism. I am so pleased that their talent and hard work continues to be recognised alongside some of the country’s finest family law firms.”
The Family Law Awards will be held on Wednesday 20th November 2024 in London.
