It was presented at a special event held in the Whitehouse Hotel, Worcester attended by several VIPs including the Mayor of Worcester, Councillor Aubrey Tarbuck and Kevin Martin, Law Society president. After winning the Lexcel in August this year, it was decided that the formal presentation be reserved for this special occasion, which marked a re-launch of the firm's image

Mr Martin added: " The Lexcel award is one of the most recognised quality marks within the legal profession. It is renowned for its extremely high qualification requirements and is a true example of Thursfields commitment to its clients."
