We are delighted to be shortlisted for two accolades at The Legal 500 UK inaugural Northern Powerhouse Awards 2023. The firm has been nominated in the Transport category for ‘Firm of the Year’ whilst senior partner, Dominic Ward, has been shortlisted for ‘Transport Lawyer of the Year’.

The awards, which take place in March, recognise firms and lawyers who are ‘setting the pace in the region’. The shortlist has been determined by the extensive independent research undertaken for The Legal 500’s annual UK Solicitors’ guide and, in particular, feedback from clients..

In The Legal 500’s 2023 guide, Andrew Jackson’s Transport practice is recognised in the top tier in Yorkshire. Clients note that the transport team is “personable, contactable, knowledgeable, reliable and professional. We have enjoyed working with them and consider them a long term business partner rather than just a firm of solicitors. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.”

Having specialised in shipping law for over 30 years, Dominic leads the firm’s shipping and transport practice. He has a long-established track record of handling High Court cases and international arbitrations and regularly advises clients on international agreements relating to major international logistics projects. Dominic also regularly assists companies on issues and disputes surrounding the carriage and distribution of goods whether by sea, road, or air.

Mark Pearson-Kendall, managing partner, said: – “I was absolutely delighted to read the excellent feedback and recommendations we received across several practice areas in The Legal 500’s 2023 guide, so to receive this further recognition for Dominic and our transport practice is fantastic news, and very well deserved.”
