Holly Evans – Solicitor & Academic Subject Manager for Law at USW

Hannah Menard – Director of the Legal Advice Clinic – USW

Karen Jones   – Director of TSR Legal Recruitment

Richard Miles – Swansea Building Society – Head of Savings / Area Manager (East)

Oliver Pughe – Financial Planner – Penguin

Holly Evans – Solicitor & Academic Subject Manager for Law at USW is excited to be part of these awards to celebrate the success of our legal talent in South Wales.  This has been a challenging year, but the legal sector has continued to provide an excellent service.  Given my role at USW, the students see the nominees as role models and aspire to one day have such successful legal careers.

Karen Jones, Director at TSR Legal Recruitment, said: “I’m delighted that we are once again supporting the South Wales Law Awards. The legal community in Wales has been a shining light in the last few years. The Welsh legal sector will be one of the key economic and social drivers as we move forward post COVID.

Richard Miles – Swansea Building Society – Head of Savings / Area Manager (East) said: Swansea Building Society is incredibly proud to be a part of the South Wales Law Awards. As an organisation we see every day the outstanding work and service the legal sector provides to Wales. We are very much looking forward to seeing everyone at the gala awards dinner in September.

Oliver Pughe – Financial Planner – Penguin said: It is wonderful to be a part of the South Wales Law Awards. At Penguin, we focus on protecting and growing our clients’ assets day in day out. We are in many respects kindred spirits with the legal community. After the challenges of 2020, we can’t wait for the awards ceremony in September.

Wesley Skene – Founder of the South Wales Law Awards said, 2020 has been one of the most challenging and difficult years we have ever faced. The legal community has persevered to deliver a world class service in spite of this. It is only right that we have assembled the best and most talented independent judging panel for the awards.”

The South Wales Law Awards gala dinner will be held on Friday 24^th September at the Hilton Hotel – Cardiff. Tickets are available at www.southwaleslawawards.co.uk

South Wales Law Awards – New Date Announced

The South Wales Law Awards is delighted to announce Friday 24^th September 2021 at the Hilton Hotel in Cardiff, for the second annual South Wales Law Awards.

After the enormous success of the inaugural South Wales Law Awards in 2019, the 2020 awards were on course to be an even bigger and better occasion. However, despite the successful rollout of the vaccine and infections decreasing, it’s still not possible or safe to hold the awards.

Sara Edwards, one of Welsh Television and Radio’s most popular presenters, will once again present the awards, at the iconic Hilton Hotel.

Wesley Skene – South Wales Law Awards Founder said, “2019 was the legal event of the social calendar. The Pandemic required us to delay the 2020 awards ceremony, and the ongoing crisis has again caused a further rescheduling. The 2021 applications process was incredibly successful, and we have broken all records for applications. In 2020, it seems as if every awards ceremony was held online. After nearly a year of rolling lockdowns this way of life is no longer acceptable. We hear of the “New Normal” being spoken of time and time again. The only “New Normal” we should accept is the return to the “Old Normal”. As such, we will postpone the awards until a time that we can all be together and enjoy the success of a hugely important community. The South Wales Law Awards this September will be a fantastic occasion and one that I’m sure we’re all looking forward to.
