Stephensons has been named Family Law Firm of the Year in the North at the prestigious Family Law Awards in London.
Stephensons, which has offices in Wigan, Manchester and across the North West, scooped the award in a very tough category reflecting the breadth and depth of legal talent in the North of England.
The Family Law Awards bring the family law community together for its biggest night of the year, celebrating excellence in the profession. Now in its twelfth year, the Family Law Awards were launched in 2011 to recognise the important work of family lawyers and celebrate their successes and achievements.
Winners were 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 award, Victoria Gethin, partner and head of family law at Stephensons said:
“As you might imagine, we are all absolutely thrilled to have won this prestigious award. To be recognised as the best family law firm in the North of England, against such stiff competition, is a huge honour and one we are incredibly proud of.
“The award is testament to the dedication, expertise and care our team demonstrate every day, supporting and guiding clients through what can be incredibly challenging and stressful moments in their life.”
