Deadline extension for Manchester Legal Awards
Potential entrants for the Manchester Legal Awards were granted more time in which to apply.
The Manchester Law Society is involved in the organisation of the awards. This year, the decision was taken to extend the deadline slightly to increase participation. As a result of the flexibility, law firms in Greater Manchester had a better chance of attending the awards ceremony next March. Business cards from Manchester can be used by firms taking part in prestigious events in the city-region.
The chief executive at the Manchester Law Society, Fran Eccles-Bech, told the Manchester Evening News:
The assessment of entries is being carried out by an expert panel. These judges have been recruited from the world of business. The award for lifetime achievement is being determined through a separate process.
There are three different categories for this year’s top law firm. These groups are based on the size of the enterprise. For example, the category of large legal firm of the year involves a contest between companies with a minimum of 20 partners.
Other categories of award are related directly to legal specialism. As a consequence, there are separate competitions for regulatory teams, property teams and employment teams.
