Recognition for legal excellence across Devon and the South West
The DASLS Legal Awards are organised by the Devon & Somerset Law Society to mark excellence in the legal profession. Being shortlisted in three categories is a great honour and highlights the continued growth and success of our teams.
The shortlist recognises not only legal expertise but also client care, innovation, teamwork, and commitment to professional standards.
Partner Brett Lawrence commented:
“We are extremely proud to be shortlisted in three categories at this year’s DASLS Legal Awards. Recognition from our regional Law Society is particularly meaningful because it reflects the quality of the work being carried out by our teams across Devon, Somerset and the South-West. It is also a testament to the trust our clients place in us every day.”
