Cumbria County Council has been shortlisted in the Excellence – In-House category for this year’s Law Society Excellence Awards.

This year, the Law Society Excellence Awards will be a series of online ceremonies, taking place from 13 to 15 October.

Lucy Moore, a childcare solicitor at City and County of Swansea Council is one of 11 nominees for Solicitor of the Year – In-House.

Callum Scott from Nottingham Trent University has meanwhile been nominated for Junior Lawyer of the Year. The award this year is in memory of Aya Hachem, a law student who was shot and killed in a drive-by shooting while on her way to Lidl in May.

The Law Society said: "The Excellence Awards entries we have received in what has been a very challenging year for solicitors are a testament to the outstanding work accomplished across the legal profession."
