Leicester family law firm in running for prestigious award

A fast-growing Leicester family law firm has been shortlisted for a prestigious national award.

Glynis Wright & Co Family Solicitors and Mediators has been named a finalist in the Law Society’s Excellence awards.

The Law Society’s Excellence Awards are considered the highest accolade for law firms in England and Wales.

Glynis Wright & Co has been shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year – Small category.

Head of practice Glynis Wright said: “We are thrilled to be finalists for this superb award. To be singled out from so many firms nationally as a beacon of excellence in legal service provision is incredible.

“We came from nowhere seven years ago to now being one of the most significant providers of family law in the Midlands. What makes us unique is the fact that the whole team place a huge emphasis on dispute resolution and conflict management, recognising the need to reduce the impact on children in a family breakup wherever possible. I am proud of each and every one of them.”

Law Society president Christina Blacklaws said: “There are more than 9,000 firms and 140,000 solicitors in England and Wales, so to be shortlisted for an Excellence Award is to be recognised as being among the best of the best.

“All the firms and solicitors who are shortlisted should be congratulated for the work they do day-in day-out to support their clients, many of whom are navigating complex and challenging legal problems.

“At a time of immense pressure on the justice system, the incredible work being done by solicitors across the country should be applauded.”

The winners will be announced at the Law Society’s Excellence Awards ceremony in London on 17 October.
