Wright Hassall in the final of The Lawyer Awards

Wright Hassall has been recognised by the legal industry’s top title as one of the UK’s leading law firms.

The Leamington-based firm is a finalist in The Lawyer Awards 2017 – the legal industry’s biggest night of the year.

Wright Hassall is in the running to be named the UK’s regional law firm of the year and is shortlisted alongside six other firms from across Britain.

The prestigious awards night, organised by The Lawyer magazine, is being held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane in London on the evening of June 27.

Wright Hassall, which has a 286-strong team, will be among more than 1,300 legal professionals at the awards final.

Managing Partner Sarah Perry said: “We’re thrilled to be named as one of the top regional law firms in the UK.

“The firm has achieved significant growth in the last 12 months and strengthened our standing in a number of priority sectors, including commercial banking, housing and advanced manufacturing and engineering.

“Wright Hassall provides a credible alternative to the top 50 law firms, and to be recognised as one of the UK’s top regional firms is testament to the hard work and achievements of our team.

“We look forward to attending the final and, fingers crossed, we can go one better and win the award for best regional law firm on the night.”
