This International Women’s Day, we’re pleased to announce that Head of our Family team, Alison Leivesley has been Highly Commended in the Female Trailblazer of the Year category at last night’s Modern Law Awards.

The Female Trailblazer of the Year award acknowledges those who demonstrate excellent leadership skills in the legal field, showcase innovation in legal practice, advocate for gender equality, diversity, and empowerment within the legal profession, or make notable contributions to mentoring and educating aspiring legal professionals.

The Modern Law Awards were launched in 2013 with the ambition of identifying and celebrating the greatest talent and success stories in the UK legal sector.

This comes hot on the heels of Alison being awarded Family Lawyer of the Year at the British Family Law Awards, and being Highly Commended in the Family Law Partner of the Year category at the LexisNexis Family Law Awards last year.

We’re thrilled to see Alison’s hard work and dedication recognised with this most recent accolade. The full list of winners can be found here.
