Duncan Lewis, Main Solicitors, Duncan Lewis Solicitors Shortlisted for Two Prestigious LexisNexis Awards

Duncan Lewis Solicitors is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for two prestigious LexisNexis Legal Awards: Case of the Year and the Pro Bono Award.

 

Our public law team has been recognised for their exceptional work in the landmark case of AAA & Ors and HTN. This pivotal case successfully challenged the UK Home Secretary's policy of relocating asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. In a ground-breaking decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Rwanda was not a safe country for these individuals. It ultimately led to policy's eventual abolition in July 2024.

 

Duncan Lewis Solicitors has been jointly listed for Case of the Year award with 11KBW, Blackstone Chambers, and Matrix Chambers, whose dedication to this case has also recognised.

 

Additionally, our unwavering commitment to pro bono work has earned us a nomination for the Pro Bono Award. Our team consistently dedicated themselves to providing free legal advice and representation to vulnerable communities, ensuring access to justice for those in need.

 

Notably, initiatives such as the Family Law Advice for the Neurodivergent Community (FLANC) and partnerships with organisations like Cancer Research UK and Will Aid exemplify our dedication to social responsibility.

 

These nominations reflect our firm's dedication to upholding justice and providing unparalleled legal services. We extend our gratitude to our hardworking teams and the clients who have entrusted us with their cases.

 

The winners will be announced at the LexisNexis Legal Awards ceremony on Thursday 13 March 2025 at the Park Plaza Riverbank. We are honoured to be considered among the leading firms in these categories and look forward to the event.
