Young Lawyer of the Year

Buckles trained solicitor Alex Burch has won the Peterborough and District Law Society’s Young Lawyer of Year award

The Peterborough and District Law Society’s 83rd annual dinner took place on 22 March 2013 at The Orton Hall Hotel. The awards ceremony, which was part of the dinner, included the Young Lawyer of the Year 2013 award which was sponsored by Law Staff Legal Recruitment.

Alex Burch qualified as a solicitor in the private client department at Buckles Solicitors LLP in Peterborough in November 2012. The judges recognised Alex demonstrated a level of experience, skill, professionalism and maturity beyond his newly qualified status.

Alex commented:

I’m very excited to win this award so early in my career. I’m also very grateful to Buckles and the Peterborough and District Law Society for recognising my achievements

This was the first year that the young solicitor category had been introduced by The Society. The award category is for lawyers who are up to five years qualified.
