Achievements of legal profession celebrated at the Law Society Excellence Awards 2014

The successes of legal professionals and firms were recognised at the Law Society Excellence Awards, held earlier this month at the Park Plaza Hotel, Westminster.

The awards acknowledge extraordinary achievement in pro bono, diversity and client service, among other categories. There were 10 winners in the group categories as well as six winners in the individual awards. TLT LLP took home the prize for excellence in diversity and inclusion, while Clifford Chance LLP won the excellence in learning and development category. Camilla Graham Wood, of Birnberg Peirce & Partners, was named junior lawyer of the year.

Andrew Caplen, president of the Law Society, praised the remarkable work of both individuals and practices: "Rarely do you get such a breadth of talent under one roof and it is heartening to see the continuous good work that makes our profession what it is. I am glad the Law Society, through the Excellence Awards, is able to formally recognise this good work, which usually takes place quietly, out of the spotlight and as a result of many long hours."
