It has been announced that Douglas Wemyss Solicitors of Leicester adds another acclaim to its portfolio of continued success. They are the only law firm nationally to have been shortlisted as finalists for the national Law Society’s Excellence Awards 2011 in 5 separate categories! This is a remarkable achievement as it shows a clear appreciation and acknowledgement of their ongoing dedication and commitment to provide the best legal services.

The categories which the firm has made the finals for include:

• Excellence in Community Investment;
• Excellence in Client Service;
• Excellence in Innovation
• Excellence in Marketing & Business Development
• and with the Senior Partner and Owner of the firm, Sameer Karim, being shortlisted as a finalist for the sought after title of Leader of the Year.

Each award is sponsored and judged by market leaders and highly experienced professionals in each field; sponsors include: Lloyds TSB Commercial, Zurich and Lombard to name but a few.

Sameer Karim and the entire firm are overjoyed with this latest news.  “To have been shortlisted for even one category would have been fantastic but to have made the finals in 5 different categories is just astounding – we are always striving to provide excellent legal services and will always continue to do so.  Making the finals is a positive recognition from the prestigious professional body of the Law Society and of the independent judging panel.  It highlights our success and growth over the last few years in terms of our dedication in providing the best legal service through innovation and commitment.  On a personal level I am honoured to have been shortlisted as a finalist for Leader of the Year and welcome this recognition of my leadership and thank my team for their positive support toward me as a leader.” (Sameer Karim)

The team is very excited about this latest news and look forward to attending the exclusive awards ceremony where the winners will be honoured with their awards on Tuesday 18 October at Old Billingsgate.
