The award recognises “an individual’s outstanding contribution in the family law sphere”.
The firm describes this as a “very special nomination”, as it is the second time that Lizzie Keogh has been put forward for the award.
Corbett Le Quesne is also a finalist in the top category for the region, Law Firm of the Year – South. It is the only law firm in the Channel Islands to be recognised. The team have previously won the award and been nominated several times.
This news follows the firm being awarded Legal 500’s Leading Firm for Client Satisfaction, an accolade only given to the top 10% firms, having received a 5 out of 5 client satisfaction rating.
Lizzie Keogh commented: “I feel so honoured to be a finalist for a Family Law Award two years running. Corbett Le Quesne is only a small law firm and my fellow finalists have done some really amazing things, so I feel very privileged to be considered among them.
“I love arranging our annual conferences which is how I ‘champion’ family law. The events bring so many lovely, caring, brilliant people together.”
She added: “Sharing knowledge and making connections with people is so important in a small island and I am very proud to be working in the field of international family law.”
Advocate Barbara Corbett said: “Lizzie has been with Corbett Le Quesne since Nick and I founded the firm in 2017. Every year we hold sell-out conferences with some of the most prominent and respected legal minds in the UK coming here to deliver keynote speeches.
“She almost single-handedly arranges two of the largest annual conferences in the family law calendar. It is fantastic to see Lizzie’s hard work being recognised in this way.”
The award ceremony will be held next month at Park Plaza in Westminster, London.
