Andrew Jackson Solicitors ha been shortlisted in two categories of the inaugural Northern Powerhouse Awards – for the company in the Transport category for ‘Firm of the Year’ and for senior partner Dominic Ward as ‘Transport Lawyer of the Year’.
The awards, winners of which will be announced next month, recognise firms and lawyers who are ‘setting the pace in the region’. The shortlist has been determined by the extensive independent research undertaken for The Legal 500’s annual UK Solicitors’ guide and, in particular, feedback from clients..
In The Legal 500’s 2023 guide, Andrew Jackson’s Transport practice is recognised in the top tier in Yorkshire. Clients note that the transport team is “personable, contactable, knowledgeable, reliable and professional. We have enjoyed working with them and consider them a long term business partner rather than just a firm of solicitors. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”
Having specialised in shipping law for more than 30 years, Dominic Ward leads the firm’s shipping and transport practice. He has a long-established track record of handling High Court cases and international arbitrations and regularly advises clients on international agreements relating to major international logistics projects. Dominic also regularly assists companies on issues and disputes surrounding the carriage and distribution of goods whether by sea, road, or air.
Mark Pearson-Kendall, managing partner at Andrew Jackson Solicitors, said: “I was absolutely delighted to read the excellent feedback and recommendations we received across several practice areas in The Legal 500’s 2023 guide, so to receive this further recognition for Dominic and our transport practice is fantastic news, and very well deserved.”
