Exeter legal eagles flying high after clinching top award

Exeter-based law firm Tozers is celebrating after one of its specialist teams clinched a top national accolade in the latest LawNet Awards.

The practice has been presented with the overall Team of the Year trophy in LawNet's annual search for lawyers delivering exceptional performance to their clients.

Members were congratulated by judges at the recent awards ceremony hosted by LawNet, the national consortium of leading independent legal practitioners.

Tozers can trace its roots in Devon back to 1785, and today has a team of around 170 people at the firm's Exeter city centre headquarters and its local offices. 

Paul Kelly, managing partner at Tozers, said the award was "a fantastic honour" for his team:

"We are very fortunate to be able to attract first-class lawyers and paralegals to work for us on behalf of our business and private clients," he said.

"Many of our solicitors were recruited and trained by the practice, and we are fully committed to encouraging all our team members to develop their full potential.

"This award from LawNet is a very well-deserved recognition of the expertise and dedication they display in striving always to get the best outcomes for our clients," added Paul.

Tozers' accolade came after an in-depth analysis of the support and commitment it provides to the holiday parks industry via a specialist team based in Exeter.

The practice is retained by the British Holiday & Home Parks Association to assist with its lobbying activity at Westminster, and to provide advice to its 3,000 park members.

Not that Tozers is any stranger to national plaudits, for both the practice and individual solicitors are featured in the prestigious Chambers UK and Legal 500 legal directories.

Specialisations for which Tozers won acclaim in the annual directories include corporate and commercial, family and matrimonial, clinical negligence, and social housing,
