A HALE law firm is in line for two top awards next month.

The Cecil Road based Blackstone Solicitors, has been added to the shortlist for the title team of the year 2014, at the Modern Law Awards, on October 15.

Established in 2010, the firm has been on the crest of a wave following news last month that Emma Nawaz, managing director of Blackstone's, is also a finalist in the Legal Business Woman of the Year Award at the Law Society's Excellence Awards in October.

Emma Nawaz said: “ When I heard that our team had been shortlisted for this prestigious award, I just couldn’t wait to share the news with them.

"The team is so passionate and focused on obtaining excellent results for our clients that it is lovely for its efforts to be rewarded. Our clear vision, strategy, direction and purpose is shared by the entire team.“
