Harrison Clark Rickerbys has been named as Advisory Firm of the Year at the Business Leader Awards 2020.
The virtual awards made by the leading business magazine took place this afternoon, and HCR won the award against stiff competition from a range of major firms, including accountants Grant Thornton and insurance and risk management firm Gallagher UK.
The awards called for evidence of commitment to clients, successful transactions completed, contributions to the community and a commitment to staff.
Corporate partner Rachael Reeves, who led the award entry, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won – it has been a challenging year for so many, but our staff have been able to maintain their commitment to the communities we live in and crucially to our clients, ensuring that they were advised and supported in all aspects of their business.
“Our ranking by Experian as the second most active legal adviser in the UK this year is evidence of that determination to keep our clients’ businesses moving.
“This accolade is a great reward at the end of a year like no other, for us and for our clients, and we look forward to continuing to help them in 2021 and beyond.”
Harrison Clark Rickerbys has more than 500 staff and partners based at offices in Cheltenham, Worcester, Birmingham, the Wye Valley, Hereford, Thames Valley, Cambridge, London, and Cardiff, who provide a complete spectrum of legal services to both business and private clients, regionally and nationwide. The firm also has a number of highly successful teams specialising in individual market sectors, including health and social care, education, technology, agricultural and rural affairs, finance and financial services, defence, security and the forces, and construction.
