Bath law firm Mogers Drewett has been shortlisted in the Law Firm of the Year category of a national award scheme for innovation and excellence in the legal sector.
The 2015 LawNet Awards are open to members of LawNet, the national network for independent law firms.
The Law Firm of the Year title goes to the firm demonstrating overall excellence and significant progress over the past 12 months against a wider business strategy.
Mogers Drewett is competing against Buckles Solicitors, which has offices in Peterborough, Nottingham and Stamford, and Newbury, Thatcham and Maidenhead-based Gardner Leader in the three-way contest.
All LawNet members share a commitment to excellence and must achieve and maintain LawNet’s own ISO.9001 standard and its associated Mark of Excellence to ensure they deliver the highest standards in client care and professional service.
Mogers Drewett managing partner Steven Treharne said: “We are delighted to be shortlisted in this key category at these prestigious awards. The entire team here has worked hard to establish Mogers Drewett as the legal firm of choice within the communities we are located, delivering the highest levels of service to our clients, and with a shared vision and strategy for offering solution based legal advice without the large fees of bigger firms.
“The phrase ‘local hero’ encapsulates the firm’s focus and is a part of everyday life for all at Mogers Drewett from a professional and community perspective.
“In the last year we have raised over £20,000 for local charities, as well as actively participating in local initiatives such as the Bath Business Improvement District (BID).”
Mogers Drewett, formed last year from the merger of Mogers and Dyne Drewett, also has offices in Wells, Frome and Sherborne. It employs around 100 people.
LawNet chief executive Chris Marston said: “Each year we recognise the outstanding work that is being done by members of LawNet across the country. They are all independent law firms with a commitment to excellence and the awards are a great opportunity to recognise their contribution to the standing of legal excellence in the UK, and to recognise the staff behind these outstanding initiatives.”
Winners will be announced at the network’s annual conference on November 6.
