The outstanding achievements of Bains Cohen LLP have been recognised by the judges of the most prestigious awards in the legal calendar. Bains Cohen LLP has been short-listed for the Law Society's Excellence Awards in no less than three separate categories of Client Service, Innovation and Marketing and Business Development – all fields typically dominated by Magic Circle firms.

BBC Broadcaster Mishal Husain will present the awards at a prestigious black tie dinner and presentation ceremony which will take place on October 21st at Old Billingsgate, London.

The awards reward the most outstanding practitioners in the legal professions. They are designed to recognise best practice across the entire legal profession and to celebrate excellence and outstanding achievement in areas that are central to the profession today. They highlight innovative business and quality of life practices, successful approaches to practice management, contributions through social responsibility and equality and diversity initiatives.

“We are thrilled and delighted by this achievement by a relatively small high street law firm. We aim to aspire other local busineses and give them the confidence that even during the worst economic turndown that the country has seen for years, there is an opportunity for small and medium size businesses to thrive by finding their niche customers and by serving them exceptionally well.” Said Yair Cohen, an internet lawyer at Bains Cohen LLP.

Linda Lee, Law Society President said;
"Once again, we have seen a very high standard of entries received for the Excellence Awards. Those who have made the short list should be extremely proud of getting this far, as this year we received a record number of superb entries." "The Excellence Awards recognises the innovation, quality and tenacity that is characteristic of the legal profession. We hope the short listed will act as an inspiration to others."
