Our firm had cause to celebrate recently, when we were named Warwickshire Law Society’s Law Firm of the Year (up to five partners).

Twelve colleagues from Mander Hadley attended the Society’s annual fundraising dinner and awards ceremony on 17 November, at the Manor Hotel, Meriden, to pick up the prestigious accolade, which was presented by Laura Gripton on behalf of the award’s sponsors, Robert Walters.

The team at Mander Hadley joined the people of Coventry in celebrating the successful bid to become UK City of Culture 2021.

Our firm has officially backed the bid since its inception and is a member of the Coventry 2021 Club of businesses which lent their support.

Thousands of UK delivery drivers have won the right to ‘spend a penny’ after a long-running campaign for the right of delivery drivers to use a company’s toilets while conducting deliveries.
