UK & Ireland law firm Browne Jacobson has been awarded Public Sector Firm of the Year and BD and Marketing Team of the Year at The Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards.
The Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse Awards recognises the talent and achievements of the legal sector across the North, North West and Yorkshire & the Humber – broadcasting the successes to Legal 500’s national and international audience.
It has been a landmark year for Browne Jacobson in the region and across all of its offices, with several significant new client appointments in the public sector and significant growth of its active dealmaking team in the North West. As well as reaching record turnover of £105m for the year ending 30 April 2023, the firm was again listed as one of the leading employers for social mobility in the Social Mobility Employer Index 2023.

“These awards champion and celebrate the excellent legal work being led out of the Northern regions, so we’re very pleased to have been recognised here. Our firm works hard to make a difference across business and society – it’s one of the cornerstones of our success, so we’re delighted that our Public Sector expertise has been commended.”
