We're Firm of the Year!

Firm and team recognition 

The biggest result was being named Firm of the Year. This one belongs to everyone at Greenwoods – every team, every office, every person who puts clients first. 

Our Corporate & Commercial team was Highly Commended for Business Law Team of the Year, recognising the quality and commercial impact they bring for clients. Stephen Jarvis, head of the Corporate and Commercial, said: “It was humbling to see the team be Highly Commended, and a proud moment to see Francesca collect the Rising Star award. The grand finale of the evening was the Firm of the Year award, which took us all by surprise. Thank you to everyone who contributed to this great achievement.“

Individual excellence 

Two individuals were also recognised on the night. 

Francesca Jus-Burke, Managing Associate in the Corporate & Commercial team, won the Rising Star Award. It goes to lawyers who make a real impact early in their careers, and Francesca absolutely has. She gives clear, pragmatic advice, builds strong client relationships, and is well regarded across the Cambridgeshire legal community. She’s earned it. Francesca said, “Winning the Rising Star Award means a great deal to me. It’s also a reflection of the supportive and collaborative environment at Greenwoods, which gives people the opportunity to grow and make an impact while delivering positive outcomes for clients.“

Will Thomas was Highly Commended as a Senior Lawyer – recognition of his experience, his leadership, and his commitment to clients, colleagues, and the firm. Will said: “It is a massive achievement to be given such prestigious recognition, amongst such a high-quality field. The Firm of the Year award is a testament to the hard work, engagement and commitment we have all shown to the Cambridge legal services environment.“

A note of thanks 

The Cambridgeshire Legal Excellence Awards shine a spotlight on the regional legal profession, and this year we had a lot to shout about. A big thank you to the Cambridgeshire Law Society for everything that goes into making these awards happen – and to our clients and peers, your trust and support mean a lot, and we don’t take either for granted.
