We are delighted to have received our Bronze Award Winner Award from the Legal Services Eagles Awards for 2026.๐Ÿฅ‰

This award epitomises all the hard work our teams have done since the launch of Somek, our new website, in 2025.

Our Marketing Lead, Amy Taylor, said: "We set out to modernise and make our website easier for our clients to navigate. I love our fresh new branding, and I am really proud that our website has received this recognition."

We would like to also recognise and say a massive thank you to MC2, who helped us to shape our vision and bring this to life; this award wouldn't have been achieved without your super skills and expertise.
