LDS shortlisted in two categories for prestigious Law Society Awards
29 July 2019
We are pleased to announce Laura Devine Solicitors has been shortlisted in both the small law firm of the year and the pro bono excellence categories in this year’s Law Society Excellence Awards. This is fantastic recognition for our team, and in particular recognises the hard work and dedication of our lawyers who were involved in the 2019 Street Child Cricket World Cup project.

Law Society president Simon Davis said: “There are more than 140,000 solicitors in England and Wales – to be shortlisted for an Excellence Award is to be recognised as among the very best of the profession. The firms and solicitors shortlisted should be commended for going above and beyond to support their clients, often navigating tricky and sometimes contentious areas of the law. With the justice system so under strain, we should take this opportunity to celebrate the incredible work solicitors do day-in and day-out – and to recognise the immense contribution they make to our society.”
Winners are announced at the Law Society’s Excellence Awards ceremony in London on 23 October 2019.
