Shropshire law firm mfg Solicitors has scooped the Law Firm of the Year title at a national industry awards.

The firm took top honours in the Law Firm of the Year £8m+ Turnover category at the 2026 LawNet Awards in recognition of its expansion and ongoing transformation.

The award win highlights the firm’s success over the past two years – with it growing by more than a third, profits doubling and an ongoing expansion strategy which has seen larger offices in Birmingham’s Colmore Business District and the opening of a new Black Country base in Brierley Hill.

Judges also recognised the firm’s growing commercial strength and national reputation, whilst staying connected to its community roots which date back nearly 500 years.

Andrew Davies, partner and managing director at mfg Solicitors said: “Winning this award is yet another landmark for the firm. More than anything, it reflects the hard work that everyone has put in to making us a leading force in the West Midlands by being financially strong and ambitious.

“There is far more that underpins our success, including delivering a quality client experience, investing in our people, providing opportunities to grow personally, and living a positive culture every day. We are absolutely delighted to be recognised on a national scale.”

LawNet chief executive Helen Hamilton-Shaw added: “Our winners demonstrate what happens when SME law firms think big and have the ambition to turn that thinking into reality. They are challenging expectations of what independently minded firms can achieve, combining commercial ambition with innovation, excellence and outstanding client service.

“What's exciting is that this ambition is shared across the network. Every year, firms learn from one another, exchange ideas and build on each other's achievements. It's a collective momentum that keeps raising the bar for everyone.”

LawNet was established in 1989 to enable a collaborative, mutually-owned national network where SME law firms could access big firm resources and benefit from collective purchasing, shared knowledge, best practice and expertise. 

Partners and staff from the firm collected the award at the LawNet network’s annual conference and awards which was held at the Celtic Manor resort in Newport.
