Thame-based law firm Lightfoots Solicitors has been awarded ‘Solicitors of the Year’ at the Oxfordshire Prestige Awards. This is the second year running that the firm has won the accolade.

The Prestige Awards are organised and run by media company Corporate LiveWire. They aim to recognise the work carried out by small and medium-sized enterprises.

The judging panel base their decisions upon areas such as service excellence; quality of the product/service provided; innovative practices; value, ethical or sustainable methods of working; as well as consistency in performance.

Joe Middleton, Managing Partner of Lightfoots, said, “To win the Oxfordshire Prestige Awards for two years in a row is excellent recognition for our hard-working team and demonstrates the strength of our local reputation.”

Established more than 150 years ago, Lightfoots now has four offices across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire which serve clients from across the UK. Their three main areas of focus are businesses, lenders and life.

The firm enjoyed a successful 2021, performing its highest number of instructions to date, with its residential conveyancing team seeing success during the Stamp Duty Land Tax holiday. It was also awarded a number of local and industry awards.

Oxfordshire Prestige Award judges said: “Lightfoots combination of personal service with the latest technology and market knowhow helps them to excel, offering the best legal service in Oxfordshire.”
