Chadwick Lawrence Solicitors has won two awards at the 2026 Yorkshire Legal Awards, recognising the firm’s outstanding achievements over the past 12 months.
The firm took home a double victory in the Corporate & Commercial and Residential Property categories.
The wins exemplify Chadwick Lawrence’s dedication to providing first-rate legal advice to businesses and private clients across Yorkshire and beyond.
The Yorkshire Legal Awards bring together the region’s legal community to recognise and celebrate its many achievements. The ceremony took place last night (8 October) at the New Dock Hall in Leeds.
From 2025 to 2026, the firm delivered record financial performance of £18 million, expanded its service offering across the North with the opening of its office in Darlington, and continued to invest in its people, technology and infrastructure to maintain an exceptional level of client service.
Alongside the wins, Chadwick Lawrence was shortlisted for Medium Law Firm of the Year, Managing Partner of the Year, Employment Law, and Debt Recovery. This showcases the breadth of its offering as a full-service firm.
The firm’s Corporate & Commercial and Real Estate teams are recognised for their efforts and achievements over the past year.
The Corporate & Commercial team advised on the negotiation of a commercially significant deal for long-term client Huddersfield Town A.F.C, securing a five-year stadium naming rights agreement. This represented the club’s largest-ever sponsorship agreement and its first stadium naming rights change in more than a decade.
As the firm’s largest department, the Real Estate team also champions innovation in its approach to client care. In 2026, the team has strengthened its bespoke client app to reduce onboarding times and implemented AI to improve the efficiency of administrative tasks, delivering a faster, more transparent service for clients.
Neil Wilson, managing partner at Chadwick Lawrence, said: “This year we have really taken Chadwick Lawrence to the next level, broadening our service offering outside of Yorkshire while strengthening the care we provide to our customers in the region.
“We’re delighted to have received these prestigious awards, with special recognition for the achievements of our Corporate & Commercial and Real Estate teams. This is testament to the hard work, dedication and expertise of our people over the past year. Congratulations to all the winners!”
