Wilmslow firm recognised for vision in UK award

Roberts Jackson Solicitors are celebrating after winning the prestigious Boutique Firm of the Year award at this year’s Lawyer Awards, the industry’s most respected and longest-running honours. ‘Boutique’ is a term used for a firm that has specialist expertise. Roberts Jackson, launched in 2009, is dedicated to helping those affected by industrial diseases.

Judges said that Roberts Jackson is “a proper, grown-up business with an admirable focus, real vision which is being achieved and is making the very best use of the new legal services environment”.

Roberts Jackson was described as “a niche firm really going places, with the vision, foresight and business acumen to attract private capital investment…. Its growth in size and profitability is directly linked to its innovation and market focus.”

The judges gave credit to Roberts Jackson’s entrepreneurial founders, Karen and Oliver Jackson describing them as “adventurous leaders who are thinking ahead in their own way.”

The accolade is the third award the firm has won so far in 2016 after being named Business of Distinction by Acquisition International Magazine, whilst Director of Strategy and Growth, Oliver Jackson was named Most Innovative Business Leader by the same publication.

Speaking after winning the impressive award, Chief Executive Karen Jackson said:

“In 2009 when we set up in one room in Wilmslow, we couldn’t have imagined winning such a prestigious national award. The success is down to our wonderful staff who are so dedicated in caring for their clients and developing their own skills to do the best job they can.”

It seems there’s no end to the recognition the firm is attracting. At the beginning of August Roberts Jackson was shortlisted for Excellence in Client Service at the Law Society Excellence Awards 2016. Watch this space!
