"The shortlist not only showcases the vibrant range of talent in Birmingham but also places our city on the map as a dynamic and influential legal hub.

"This year's awards reflects our commitment to recognising the diverse contributions made by professionals from all backgrounds and set an inspiring precedent for the future of our legal community."

The judging panel for the awards was led by Jabeer Miah, president of Northamptonshire Law Society.

He said: "It has been a pleasure for me and my colleagues to read and consider the entry submissions for the 2024 Birmingham Legal Awards.

"All entries were of high quality and the work being undertaken in Birmingham is commendable and really impressed the judges.

"Entrants should be proud of their submissions and it took the judges a lot longer than expected to finalise the shortlist
