For the second time in three years, Ridley & Hall have won the Specialist Law Firm Award at the prestigious 2008 Yorkshire Lawyer Awards.

The Awards recognised Ridley & Hall’s groundbreaking support for kinship carers and the nationally recognised expertise of our education and community care teams in supporting individuals and families to challenge authorities.

The Award criteria were:

• Law firms who practise in a clearly identifiable niche area of the law
• Demonstrable appreciation or recognition by clients
• Dedication to development and welfare of staff
• Client initiatives that you feel have set you apart from the rest
• Contribution to the legal community – either business or individual
• Recognition received from other firms
• Contribution to the local community such as pro-bono work
• Anything else that you feel is particularly noteworthy

Managing Partner Sarah Young said ” We are absolutely delighted to have received this award for a second time – it is a real testament to the extraordinary work and results that our teams have achieved in the last 12 months in winning landmark rulings in favour of carers across the country.”
