Olliers wins Crime Team of the Year 2023

We are delighted to announce Olliers has won the Crime Team of the Year Award at the Manchester Legal Awards 2023. Run by Manchester Law Society, the awards celebrate the city’s brightest legal talent. Finalists are determined by a panel of highly successful and well respected individuals from the business, legal and academic community across the North West. The winners were announced at a glitzy ceremony at The Midland Hotel yesterday evening (8^th June 2023). The event was a fantastic success and we thoroughly enjoyed attending.

Crime Team of the Year

Olliers have now won the Crime Team of the Year Award on six occasions during recent years.

Matthew Claughton, Managing Director, commented:

“I’m absolutely delighted that Olliers have won Crime Team of the Year.  It’s a testament to the amazing team we have at Olliers and all of their hard work over the last twelve months. This award comes during a period of significant growth for Olliers – in June already we have had three new recruits join us at Senior Associate/Partner level following new hires in May. This is an extremely exciting time for Olliers and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings.”
