martineau best of birmingham 02/04/2009 Another top award for Birmingham & London-based law firm Martineau as they emerged the shining star in the region, scooping the big 'Law Firm of the Year' award at this year's Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards.
The star studded event took place at the ICC and was hosted by Central TV's Llewella Bailey. Guests were treated to a series of witty tales by guest speaker Charles Kennedy MP, former leader of the Liberal Democrat Party who also presented the trophies. The awards provided an opportunity to escape the doom and gloom of the current economic climate for a few hours and focus on the region's accomplishments and success stories.
Bill Barker, managing partner at Martineau, commented; "this award reflects a continued and sustained effort in supporting the West Midlands business community and as a firm we are proud to have been publically acknowledged as law firm of the year.
"The firm has a long history within Birmingham and has grown and shaped its values in line with how the city has evolved. We have forged strong relationships in the region over many years and this recognition by our 'home' law society is particularly pleasing."
Martineau is building a strong reputation as a firm with a global outlook and is an integral part of the region's revitalisation and regeneration. Outside of Birmingham, Martineau has a wide reach, operating both nationwide and globally. As a valued member of Multilaw - an independent network of law firms in 150 commercial centres throughout the world, and State Law Resources, a national network of independent law firms across North America, gives it the reach required by so many of its clients.
