LEGAL BUSINESS AWARDS 2005

Simply Law Jobs were very proud to be sponsors of the "Boutique Law Firm of the Year" Merit Award at the LEGAL BUSINESS AWARDS 2005 on the 10th February. This award recognised smaller law firms (with less than 15 partners) that have excelled in focused areas of law. The judges looked at relative performance, comments from clients about the strength of the service received, and for profile beyond what might be expected of a firm of such size. This award is focused on quality. We are delighted to have sponsored this award as we are a small, independent company with a focus on quality and delivering a service that exceeds people’s expectations.

The 2005 Legal Business Awards were held on 10th February 2005 at The Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London. They were certainly the 'Oscars of the Legal Profession, the best in the business, rewarding absolute excellence in the practice of commercial law.
