Double win for Morecrofts at legal awards

Ellie and Alison Legal awards 2021

Morecrofts scooped two wins at this year’s Liverpool Legal Awards

The ceremony saw talent from across the legal profession in the Liverpool City Region come together for Liverpool Law Society’s Annual Dinner.

Family law solicitor Eleanor Slater took home the Rising Star Award. Judges commented on how impressed colleagues are with her hard work and professionalism. Although only recently qualified, she deals with some complex and sensitive family law cases and received a number of glowing testimonials from satisfied clients. The judges all agreed she was a worthy winner.

Eleanor said: “It was such an honour to be selected by Morecrofts to be entered, and then to be shortlisted was such a surprise in itself. “To actually win the award was amazing. It meant a lot to be recognised in such a tough category and to know that the small part I play in the family system is making a difference to people’s lives.”

Managing partner Alison Lobb also received a special recognition award for her role in the local professional community and was described as a driving force behind initiatives to support and strengthen the regional economy though networking, collaboration and fellowship.

Alison said: “I am immensely proud to have received this award, and very grateful to Liverpool Law Society.  It is wonderful to be appreciated for my determination to serve the legal community in the business world and my aspiration to support and motivate the next generation of legal talent as much as possible. 

“Nobody does these things for reward, in my case it is because I am passionate about both issues, but to be recognised for it means I must be doing something right!” 

The President of the Society, Julie O’Hare, congratulated all those who had taken part, saying: “We are extremely fortunate to have some of the best talent the legal profession has to offer and as a society we strive to encourage and promote the Liverpool City Region as a centre of legal excellence.”

More than 300 members of the legal profession, sponsors and guests attended the event at the Rum Warehouse in Liverpool, raising more than £3,000 for the Owen McVeigh Foundation.
