Business Development Team Sweeps into Shortlist at Law

The Business Development team at Liverpool law firm Weightmans LLP has secured a place on the shortlist for the national Law Society Excellence awards.

Members of the team will be fighting it out with 5 others in the Excellence in Marketing and Business Development category at the awards ceremony, which takes place on 21st October at Old Billingsgate in London.

The team was shortlisted for its work on a firmwide campaign focused on enhancing the firm’s client relationship management (CRM).

Sarah-Jane Howitt, Director of Marketing, nominated the team for the award:

“The whole team has put in an excellent effort and achieved a high level of buy-in from members of the firm with their enthusiasm for the CRM initiative. Their recognition in this shortlist is certainly well-deserved.”

Business Development Executive Lucy Donaldson said that the initiative gave the team a real opportunity to employ a fresh and imaginative approach:

“The success of the initiative was of course our priority but to then be shortlisted for an award on top of that is wonderful. I’m looking forward to attending the ceremony with the rest of the Business Development team; it will be a great evening regardless of whether or not we win.”

In addition to Lucy, the shortlisted team comprised Head of Business Development Lorraine Clancy, Business Development Managers Martine Duma, Peter Abbott, Peter McPartland and Business Development Executive Chris Thomas.

The Law Society Excellence Awards is an annual awards ceremony that promotes the hard work and achievements of individuals and teams within the legal profession.
