Howes Percival enjoyed a fantastic evening at the Cambridgeshire Law Society Legal Excellence Awards, where they celebrated a hat-trick winning ‘Employment Team of the Year’, ‘Dispute Resolution Team of the Year’ and ‘Senior Lawyer of the Year’.
Held annually, the Legal Excellence Awards recognise the best individuals, teams and law firms practising in the city of Cambridge and the surrounding area. In the beautiful setting of King’s College the awards brought together the finest legal talent from across the region and, after two years of black-tie zoom events, guests were able to celebrate the awards once again in person.
Having entered the Cambridge legal market in early 2015, Howes Percival is now well established in the city and the success of the awards continues to cement their place as one of the leading law firms in the region. The firm provides a full-service legal offering with commercial property, corporate and commercial, employment, insolvency, dispute resolution, regulation and private client services.
On taking home the awards for ‘Dispute Resolution Team of the Year’ and ‘Senior Lawyer of the Year’, Michael Green, partner and head of the Dispute Resolution team in East Anglia, commented,
“I am immensely proud to see the Dispute Resolution team recognised as ‘Team of the Year’ once again after winning the award in 2020. We’ve been established now for approaching 5 years and over that time we have grown both turnover and profit and continue to go from strength to strength. Over the past 12 months we have taken on new multi-national clients and grown our domestic business which is only possible due to our technical knowledge and excellence in litigation. We also pride ourselves on the collaborative nature of the firm, often drawing on the depth of expertise of our commercial and employment teams to consider the wider commercial context for our clients."
“I am also very touched to have received the award for ‘Senior Lawyer of the Year’ and would like to thank the judges for their consideration.”
On winning the award for ‘Employment Team of the Year’, Matthew Potter, partner and head of the Employment team in East Anglia commented,
“This is a fantastic achievement for our Employment team. We’re a client-focussed, hard-working team that prides itself on approaching a range of client matters with expertise and a strong work ethic. The team has demonstrated excellence in the past year by being creative and offering support to clients via new and interesting approaches, ensuring that they do all they can to equip clients with everything they need to maintain positive employee relations in an ever-changing work environment and providing valuable advice on the many new issues that businesses and employees face.”
