Lesley Gregory shortlisted for ‘Professional Services Award’ by the Variety Catherine Awards 2018

As one of the few women Chairmen at UK law firms, Lesley Gregory has worked to expand the firm’s international offering and encouraged an internal culture focused on diversity and core values – all while maintaining her top-rated corporate practice. She is one of only five lawyers (and the only woman) ranked “Band 1” for AIM by Chambers UK, and the only woman ranked “Band 1” for Corporate/M&A: Mid-Market.

The Variety Catherine Awards aim to celebrate inspirational Women in Business by recognising the myriad contributions from women in business and philanthropy whilst raising awareness and funds for disabled and disadvantaged children throughout the UK.

The Professional Services Award that Lesley has been shortlisted for, celebrates women who have not only overcome the challenges of their job and excelled in their sector, but who have also contributed to the success and growth of the company through their achievements.

The winners will be decided by a panel of judges, all of whom have a proven record in their field. This year’s judges include sporting legend Paula Radcliffe MBE, Kanya King MBE, Founder, MOBO Awards, Lisa Francis, CEO, Barclays Private Bank, UK and Ireland, Dr Maggie Semple OBE and Lesley Batchelor OBE, Director General, Institute of Export and International Trade.
