Award win for Banner Jones’ Employment Law team
The Employment Law team at leading regional law firm Banner Jones Solicitors has been recognised for displaying an innovative and flexible approach to changes in the legal market at this year’s prestigious Sheffield Law Society annual awards.
The accolade was announced at a ‘sold out’ awards ceremony, held at the Royal Victoria Hotel in Sheffield on Friday 25th February; bringing together the region’s legal community to recognise and celebrate its many achievements.
The Banner Jones Employment Law team assist both individuals and businesses across all areas of employment law. The department helped their clients tackle the challenges brought about by the various lockdowns and the countrywide shift to remote working by launching a range of flexible appointment types, free informative webinars, free training support and explanatory guides on key topics.
Katie Ash, Head of Employment Law at Banner Jones said, “Businesses have had a lot of additional HR pressure over the last 12 months, with the winding down of the Furlough scheme, dealing with covid vaccination status policies and flexible and hybrid working patterns and contract changes. It has been a pleasure to help guide our clients through the ever-changing rules and restrictions and to be able to support them through this period of upheaval.”
Commenting on the award Banner Jones’ Chief Executive Simon Wright, said: “It is testament to the hard work and dedication that the team has shown over the past 12 months – and throughout the pandemic. They have been supported by the wider Banner Jones family including our Marketing and IT departments, so it’s with great pride that we receive this accolade on behalf of everyone at Banner Jones.”
Banner Jones Solicitors supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
