We’re delighted to announce we have been named a finalist in the Employment Law category at The Yorkshire Legal Awards 2026, recognising our firm’s continued commitment to providing high-quality, practical and client-focused employment law advice.
The achievement is a fantastic acknowledgement of the hard work of the wider Consilia Legal team and, in particular, the firm’s employment law practice, led by Marie Walsh, Head of Employment Law.
Being shortlisted among the finalists highlights the expertise, dedication and impact of the team and provides an opportunity to celebrate the work taking place every day to support employers and employees through an increasingly complex employment landscape.
Recognising Excellence in Employment Law
Employment law can present businesses and individuals with some of their most challenging and sensitive situations. From managing workplace relationships and resolving disputes to navigating organisational change and understanding evolving employment legislation, having clear and commercially focused legal advice can make a significant difference.
Consilia Legal’s employment team takes a practical and personal approach, working closely with clients to understand their circumstances before providing advice tailored to their individual needs and objectives.
At the forefront of the department is Marie Walsh, Head of Employment, whose experience and leadership have helped shape the team’s approach to employment matters. Marie and the team are committed to combining technical legal expertise with straightforward, accessible advice, helping clients understand their options and make informed decisions.
The finalist recognition reflects not only the strength of the firm’s employment law expertise but also its focus on building trusted relationships with clients and delivering a high standard of service.
A Fantastic Achievement for the Team
Reaching the finalist stage is an achievement worth celebrating in its own right. Industry awards provide an important opportunity to recognise the individuals and teams making a meaningful contribution to their profession, and Consilia Legal’s place among the finalists demonstrates the positive impact of its work.
For Marie and the employment team, the recognition is also a testament to the dedication that goes into supporting clients through matters that can often be complex, commercially significant and highly personal.
The Consilia Legal team will now look forward to joining fellow finalists and professionals from across the industry when the winners are announced later this year.
A huge congratulations to Marie Walsh and everyone at Consilia Legal on this fantastic recognition.
We wish the team the very best of luck and look forward to seeing the results on the night. The Yorkshire Legal Awards event date is set for 8th October 2026 and will take place at New Dock Hall in Leeds.
