Duncan Lewis Solicitors shortlisted for Workplace Champion Award at GBCC Awards 2026 (9 February 2026)

Duncan Lewis Solicitors is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for the Workplace Champion Award at the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) Awards 2026.

“Being shortlisted for the Workplace Champion Award is a real honour and reflects the supportive and inclusive culture we experience day to day at Duncan Lewis. It’s rewarding to work in an environment that genuinely prioritises wellbeing, development and progression across teams.” Amrit Raindi, Solicitor and Supervisor, Business & Personal Immigration.

 The GBCC Awards are the region’s flagship celebration of business success and will take place on Thursday, 14 May 2026, at the ICC Birmingham. The awards recognise organisations and individuals who make a meaningful contribution to the Greater Birmingham business community.

 The Workplace Champion Award, sponsored by University College Birmingham, celebrates organisations that demonstrate excellence in people development, health and wellbeing, equality, diversity and inclusion, and the creation of positive workplace cultures.

 As an award-winning national law firm with a key office in Birmingham city centre, Duncan Lewis Solicitors is the UK’s largest provider of publicly funded (legal aid) services. Guided by our motto, “We give people a voice,” we represent some of the most vulnerable individuals and families in society, often at times of significant personal crisis.

 Our shortlisting recognises our continued investment in our people over the past year, including extensive training and development, wellbeing initiatives, inclusive leadership and accessible career pathways. In the last 12 months alone, we delivered over 29,000 hours of training, facilitated the gaining or renewal of 161 professional accreditations, supported more than 110 trainee solicitors, and saw 22 trainees qualify, with 82% retained as Newly Qualified solicitors.

 We are proud of our inclusive and representative workforce and our long-standing commitment to employee wellbeing, flexible working and progression from within. Many of our senior leaders began their careers at Duncan Lewis, reflecting our focus on developing talent and supporting long-term careers.

 Being shortlisted for the Workplace Champion Award is a testament to the dedication and professionalism of our teams across Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond. We look forward to celebrating with fellow finalists at the GBCC Awards in May 2026.
