Llantwit Major based solicitor Andrew Campbell of Bikelawyer has been shortlisted for the Law Society’s prestigious Excellence Awards, the highest accolade for lawyers in England and Wales.

Andrew has been shortlisted in the “Solicitor of the Year – Private Practice” category.

Andrew commented: “I am delighted and honoured to be short-listed for this award in recognition of a ground breaking insurance law case involving a seriously injured motorcyclist. It is a real pleasure for me and the rest of the team at Bikelawyer to represent motorcyclists with life changing injuries and secure them the compensation they deserve.”

Law Society president Christina Blacklaws said: “There are more than 9,000 firms and 140,000 solicitors in England and Wales, so to be shortlisted for an Excellence Award is to be recognised as being among the best of the best.

“All the firms and solicitors who are shortlisted should be congratulated for the work they do day-in day-out to support their clients, many of whom are navigating complex and challenging legal problems.

“At a time of immense pressure on the justice system, the incredible work being done by solicitors across the country should be applauded.”

Winners are announced at the Law Society’s Excellence Awards ceremony in London on 17 October.
