Consilia Legal Wins National Wellbeing Award

– Local law firm recognised for its commitment to staff wellbeing at Family Law Awards
– Firm “Highly Commended” for the Family Law Firm of the North Award

The Family Law team at Yorkshire-based law firm, Consilia Legal are celebrating after winning the ‘National Family Law Wellbeing Award’ at the annual Family Law Awards held at the spectacular Bloomsbury Big Top in London.

The ‘Wellbeing Award’ was introduced as a new category for 2021 and was added to the list of national awards to bring to the forefront the extraordinary steps some organisations have taken to support their staff during the most challenging and stressful of times.

The award recognises law firms, chambers and other legal organisations which have demonstrated the strongest commitment to providing and promoting a working environment that supports the mental and physical health of its staff members or colleagues and enables them to maintain a healthy balance between their work pressures and home life.


Sandeep Sandu, Associate Solicitor at Consilia Legal sald, “As a member of the team, I can truly say that the National Family Law Wellbeing Award is home where it belongs. Having worked at a number of firms, Consilia Legal has shown that it isn’t just paying lip service to the well-being of their team.

“They have gone above and beyond of what most firms offer their staff and have no doubt inspired many other firms to follow suit. Founders, Laura and Marie deserve this award and the rest of the team applaud them in their achievements.”

Laura Clapton, Family Lawyer, Mediator and Co-Founder of Consilia Legal, added, “I am so proud of the whole team on winning this award, particularly following a very challenging couple of years. It feels extra special as it recognises the internal and personal work we do at Consilia Legal to support each other; not because it is what we should be doing, but because we want to ensure our team are looked after and know that their wellbeing matters to us.

“Although it is a family law award, this is testament to the whole team. We are a small firm who have always and will always put employee wellbeing at the top of our agenda, “

The Family Law team were also “Highly Commended” in the Family Law Firm of the North Award.

The judging panel was made up of Family Law professionals from a number of law firms and organisations, including Irwin Mitchell and the Association of Lawyers for Children.
