Schillings win at the British Legal Awards

26 November 2008

Schillings was again recognised as a leader in its field when one of our solicitors, Jenny Afia, received the Young Solicitor of the Year award at 'The British Legal Awards 2008'.

The award set-out to celebrate the achievements of younger individuals within a firm and was said to be one of the most hard fought categories.  The judges sought evidence of technical ability combined with a strong dose of entrepreneurism.  Commenting about the award Jenny said, "I am delighted to have won which was only possible as a result of the excellent training and opportunities we receive at Schillings."     

This is another major achievement for Schillings this year. Gideon Benaim was recently named Partner of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 2008 whilst Keith Schilling was listed as 10th in the Times 100th most Powerful Lawyers list 2008 and named in the Evening Standard's 2008 Survey of the 1000 most influential people in London.
