On 14th September 2023 we attended the National Paralegal Awards 2023. We are delighted that Serena Ely and Julie Garrod both came home with awards! Serena won Best Will Writing Paralegal and Julie came highly commended in Best Conveyancing Paralegal. Congratulations! The National Paralegal Awards 2023 focused on the achievements of paralegals in the UK. Whether they are employed, self-employed, a volunteer or a business, as well as companies that support the profession. The National Paralegal Awards is an exciting opportunity for the legal sector to reward and recognise the outstanding paralegal talent in the UK. Entered by some of the best, these awards are a chance for paralegals to show what they have achieved and to be celebrated amongst their peers. Nigel Craske, Senior Partner, and Amy Church, Managing Partner, joined Serena and Julie for an evening of food, entertainment and celebration at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham. The food was fantastic! Between the main course and dessert, they were entertained by Big Muma Funk, before the awards ceremony kicked off. When announcing Serena as the winner of Will Writing Paralegal, the judges said: “An interesting journey. This nominee demonstrates grit, determination and compassion. An admiral and human approach to the legal profession. Her achievements have contributed to her firms success and reputation and their innovative approach is of note. A very strong submission.” Amy Church, Managing Partner, comments “I am over the moon for Julie and Serena. Their recognition at the National Paralegal Awards reflects their hard work and commitment to the profession and their clients. Both Julie and Serena strive to provide a high level of service and I am delighted that their hard work has been recognised.”
