Law firm Quinn Legal has scored a hat trick of wins having recently been awarded 2014 Overall Law Firm of the Year – Isle of Man by specialist corporate finance publishers Acquisition International.
Quinn Legal have been award winners for the last three years.
Acquisition International launched these awards to pay tribute to the most influential performers in the legal profession.
The awards are presented solely on merit and are given to those most deserving for advice and services provided over the last 12 months.
James Quinn, head of Quinn Legal, said: ‘I’m absolutely delighted to receive recognition on behalf of Quinn Legal for the third successive year.
‘To win an award once is an achievement but to win three years in a row is amazing.
‘Overall Law Firm of the Year is a coveted title and recognises the commitment to the consistently high standards that all of my team work to.
‘We are committed to making a difference for our clients and awards such as these remind us that what we do matters to people.
‘We are delighted to have won awards for the last three years but we recognise that it is the future that matters most for us and our clients.’
The year 2014 has also been a very good year for trainees at Quinn Legal. Earlier this year Ashley Kneale was called to the Manx Bar and commissioned as an Advocate.
Ashley is also the first Football Association registered lawyer in the Isle of Man.
Following in Ashley’s footsteps Kim O’Brien has recently passed all four Manx Bar exams at her first attempt, receiving the honour of the Deemsters’ Commendation for a ‘distinguished performance’. This recognition is reserved for an exceptional result and isn’t awarded every year. Kim is now completing her two year training before being called to the Manx Bar.
Kim O’Brien said: ‘I am delighted to have passed and achieved the Deemsters’ Commendation in the Manx Bar exams.
‘I am extremely grateful to my colleagues and Quinn Legal for all of the support that I have received and I am now looking forward to continuing my career development.’
Boss James Quinnsaid: ‘I’m very proud of both Ashley and Kim.
‘Their hard work and dedication to their profession has paid off and I am really excited about the calibre of the junior lawyers that we have at Quinn Legal.
‘It bodes very well for the future and will allow us to continue to provide our distinct brand of legal services to our ever growing client base.’
