We are delighted to announce that entries are now open for The Manchester Legal Awards.
We cannot wait to recognise and reward our legal talent from across the region at the black-tie gala dinner at the Midland Hotel on Thursday, June 9.
Although last year’s virtual event was such a success, we cannot wait to see people “in the flesh” again at this year’s live event. After the challenges of the past two years, we feel that our community is ready to let its collective hair down and celebrate big time!
We have a limited number of sponsorship and advertising opportunities available. This year’s event will be bigger than ever so I urge anyone who wants to raise their profile among the region’s sizeable legal community email FranEccles-Bech@manchesterlawsociety.org.uk
Judging Day will be Friday 13th May and if you are entering, please keep this day free as this is the only day judging will take place.
There are 21 categories as usual, including two new categories: Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Champions of the Year and In-house Team of the Year.
The Manchester Law Society's President’s Charity of the year is Caritas Aspire, which works alongside refugees and asylum seekers in Manchester.
Named after a Latin word meaning love and compassion, Caritas Aspire supports people in practical and emotional ways. It provides high quality language lessons; mentoring to support entry into further/higher education and employment; and wellbeing services.
Caritas Aspire helps refugees and asylum seekers integrate into their new community and ultimately aims to protect their dignity.
With the current situation in Ukraine, the work of Caritas Aspire has never been more important. If you would like more information on Caritas Aspire click here
