Brabners has won the ‘Employment Law Award’ at Liverpool Law Society's Legal Awards 2015.

Brabners was one of three nominated firms to reach the shortlist in the employment law category, alongside Hill Dickinson and Morecrofts.

The independent judging panel said that Brabners has been a service provider in this area for many years, with both litigious and non-litigious advice, and it seemed that they had an innate understanding of clients’ employment and human resources needs and were able to bring an unrivalled breadth of experience to addressing those needs.

What impressed the panel in particular was the innovative approach to training which equipped not only Brabners’ staff as external lawyers to better serve their corporate client’s interests but the facilitation of greater understanding within the client organisation, with the Training Works and HR Works programmes.

Over 300 people attended the awards ceremony, held on Friday May 15 at the Crown Plaza hotel, Liverpool.

The ceremony recognised and celebrated the achievements of Liverpool Law Society's member law firms and individuals who have shown excellence in innovation or service, or made outstanding contribution to legal services

Nick Campbell, Head of Employment law at Brabners’ Liverpool office, commented: “We are delighted to win this award which acknowledges our innovative approach to supporting client’s businesses in addition to the high standard of legal services we provide.

“It is gratifying that the team’s hard work in creating what is now one of the largest specialist Employment and Pensions teams in the UK has been recognised in this way.

“My particular thanks goes to the many clients we act for both regionally and nationally; their continued support is very much appreciated.”

Mark Brandwood, Managing Partner at Brabners, added: “This award is a testament to the hard work and talent of our employment team whose client service and quality legal advice continues to be recognised across the legal sector.”

Last year, Brabners was crowned employment team of the year at the Manchester Legal Awards 2014.
