We have been shortlisted in two categories at The Legal 500 UK Awards 2020 – which recognises elite legal practitioners and firms based on comprehensive research.
The Legal 500 conducted more than 50,000 interviews to ascertain the shortlist for the awards, which aims to reward the best in-house and private practice teams and individuals over the past 12 months.
We have beaten strong competition to be nominated in the Private Client (East Midlands) Firm of the Year (outside London) category, which includes:
- Agriculture and estates;
- Charities and not-for-profit;
- Contentious trusts and probate
- Family; and
- Personal tax, trusts and probate.
Partner and solicitor Kevin Modiri – who joined us in 2013 and specialises in inheritance disputes – has also made it onto the Private Client Individual of the Year (outside London) shortlist.
Stewart Vandermark, our Chief Executive, said:
“I am so proud that Nelsons has been shortlisted in not one, but two categories, which reflects how strong our private client teams are – being the selected law firm from the East Midlands against a long list of very strong contenders in the region is a real credit to the entire company.
“I’d also like to congratulate Kevin on his nomination for the Private Client Individual of the Year award outside London. His drive and passion for the job has clearly impressed The Legal 500 and made him stand out against a whole host of talented professionals from across the country.”
Earlier this year, we were recommended in an impressive 21 categories in the latest edition of The Legal 500 2020 rankings.
Since the start of 2019, we have also taken home nine prestigious awards – including being named the large law firm of the year at both the Derby & District and Leicestershire Law Society Awards – and been shortlisted for a further eight.
