As proud sponsors at the Yorkshire Legal Awards last week, we were honoured to attend and present an award at this glittering black tie affair. Joined by locally acclaimed legal firms and esteemed industry figureheads, the event is a huge testament to the strength of the legal sector in this region and its willingness to reward those who make it thrive.

From the most renowned corporate firms to leading barristers, senior partners to rising stars, the awards recognised 26 categories spanning the entire legal industry. Foresight sponsored the ‘Criminal Law Firm of the Year’ award and our very own Susan Henry, Operations Director, presented the award to worthy winners, Park Square Barristers.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the event took place at the New Dock Hall, Leeds, on 10th October and has become a key date on the calendar for legal professionals.

Matt Gotting, Head of Professional Services at Barker Brooks, who organised the event, said: “The 20th annual Yorkshire Legal Awards was the largest in the ceremony’s celebrated history. Industry leaders from across Yorkshire's leading firms gathered to celebrate, network and recognise outstanding achievements in the past 12 months. We're delighted at the continued support from across the region and look forward to celebrating the next 20 years.”

Caroline Arrowsmith, Head of Sales at Foresight, said: “The event was extremely well attended and co-ordinated, and a fantastic opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local legal community within Yorkshire. A personal highlight for me was meeting potential new customers and receiving positive feedback on our services.”

Foresight would like to extend its warm congratulations to all finalists and winners and we hope to see you all again next year!
