Client Service Excellence

Leigh Day received the Client Service Excellence award at this year’s Northern Powerhouse ceremony.

The firm has received positive feedback from clients noting the level of dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for clients, along with a commitment to justice and delivering outstanding results.

The firm has also been commended by clients for the depth of knowledge and experience in its northern offices.

Alongside its legal case work, Leigh Day is undertaking an audience insights project to better understand the motivations and behaviours of prospective clients, as well as what barriers might be in place to some people.

The firm also has a dedicated press team, which is able to offer support to clients whose cases come under the media spotlight.

Leigh Day partner Clare Campbell said:

“We are delighted to have been recognised again at the Legal 500 Northern Powerhouse awards, both as a firm and at an individual level. Supporting clients throughout what can be a long and difficult legal process is of great importance and something we pride ourselves on across the whole firm, and it is positive to see this recognised with the client service award. We’re also hugely pleased for our solicitor William Broadbent, whose fantastic work in the personal injury department has been justly rewarded.”

Leigh Day senior associate solicitor William Broadbent said:

“It’s a great honour to have been recognised at this year’s Northern Powerhouse awards. I’m immensely grateful for the hard work and support of my team, as well as my colleagues across the whole personal injury department where everyone is working tirelessly to secure justice for clients.”
