A FIRM of solicitors from Frodsham has been shortlisted for an award at an inaugural legal awards dinner.

Rowlinsons Solicitors, of Church Street, has been shortlisted for the small law firm of the year award at the Manchester Legal Awards Dinner this month.

Rowlinsons managing director Denis Stevenson said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted for this award and feel this reflects the dedication and hard work of our team over the last 12 months.

“I believe it confirms our reputation as a forward-thinking, dynamic and client-focused legal practice.”

The nomination was given to the firm because of its growth during a difficult economic climate, based on the company’s recruitment and development, innovation and quality of service.

Fran Eccles-Bech, executive director at the Manchester Law Society, said: “We’ve been blown away by the fantastic reaction to the awards from the region’s legal profession, and genuinely stunned by the number and quality of entries we received.”

The ceremony will take place at the Midland Hotel, Manchester.
