3 March : Manchester Legal Awards 2011

Midland Hotel, Manchester

On the 3 March, The Manchester Law Society and Manchester Evening News joined forces for the second year to bring us the Manchester Legal Awards.  Just Costs were delighted to be finalists for Law Firm of Year 2011 (Small: 1-5 Partners) and throughly enjoyed the evening. 

In respect of the awards themselves, Manchester Law Society President, Nick Davenport said "The number of entries was up by 40 per cent on last year and it was extremely difficult to choose the winners.

I was also on the judging panel for the small firm of the year category, which probably caused more difficulties than any other as there were so many outstanding entries."

16 March : Claims Management Conference

The Hilton Hotel, Liverpool

This year's conference was chaired by our Managing Director, Paul Shenton. 

Here is a selection of feedback that Paul received.

"thanks to your support, the conference proved to be extremely successful.  The feedback we received has been outstanding, with delegates commenting on the high calibre of the speakers and excellent topics / debate." 

"Thank you for your excellent chairing of last week’s Claims Management Conference.
 
I thought you handled the day with great professionalism and skill, particularly during the panel debates.
 
The result of these sessions is often difficult to predict but you handled both debates with a mixture of firmness and fairness, giving each speaker ample opportunity to put forward their point of view without ever dominating the panel.
 
The feedback I have received from various delegates has been positive and in no small part down to your superb management of the day."

Just Costs also took up exhibition space at thsi event and our Client Services team were on hand to assist delegates with costs related matters.
