March has proven to be a bumper month for Nockolds LLP Solicitors, receiving recognition from their staff, clients and trainees through the following awards:
The Weston Homes Professional Business Partner Award
The Times Two Star Accreditation as an “Outstanding Employer”
Nominated for Best Recruiter—Medium Regional Firm through lawcareers.net Training and Recruitment Awards.
The Weston Homes Professional Business Partner Award is an annual event when Weston staff nominate the firms considered to provide consistent levels of excellent service in their field. The Professional Service Category covers organisations that support and advise Weston Homes in legal, financial, and other specialist areas.
“This is truly a fantastic achievement for the entire Firm but particularly to those teams and individuals that deal with Westons on a regular basis, especially the Commercial Property and Plot Sales Team. We are exceptionally proud to have won this award and appreciate the high calibre of all the nominees.”
Michael Talbot, Partner
The Times Best Companies Accreditation system surveys employees and, based on their responses, awards Michelin-style Star Status to organisations.
Nockolds received the “Outstanding” Two Star Accreditation alongside national law firms Mischon De Reya in London and JMW Solicitors in Manchester.
Nockolds has also been nominated for a further award, for Best Recruiter with lawcareers.net Training and Recruitment Awards. This category recognises firms that operate good recruitment practices. There are six firms that have been nominated and we will find out the result at an awards ceremony in London on 24 May.
“Winning awards is a fantastic accolade for any firm and to win two and be nominated for another is simply outstanding. The whole team at Nockolds Solicitors are committed to maintaining the highest standards in terms of delivering the highest service to clients, adhering to our client care policies and rewarding our staff .”

Nockolds LLP Solicitors are providing weekly “Legal Surgeries” on a Saturday morning to help make their clients and prospective client’s lives easier.
The first Saturday of every month is an “Employment Law Surgery” providing 30 minutes of free advice, which is proving to be extremely popular.
Life is very busy for most of us, so providing access to legal advice on a Saturday morning helps to relieve the pressure. Saturday morning opening means that people who work Monday to Friday don’t need to take time off work to visit an employment law specialist.
Although many people are aware that they need to speak to a solicitor they are worried about the cost implication at a time when they are facing or have recently lost their jobs.
Since offering this service advice has been provided on a variety of issues including redundancy, unfair dismissal, and inappropriate behaviour in the work place.
The Nockolds Employment Law Team have advised individuals about the practicalities of bringing a claim and the strict time limits that need to be observed should Tribunal proceedings prove necessary.
Bev Moseley, employment solicitor said:“In the current economic climate many employees are facing considerable pressures at work and may just need to discuss their situation to clarify their employment rights.”
In response to this Bev Moseley, Nockolds employment solicitor, will be providing an online question and answer forum on employment issues through the Herts and Essex Observer website.
All questions will remain completely anonymous and answers to questions will posted on the blog, so please send your questions to Bev on employment@nockolds.co.uk
Not all questions will be featured on the blog therefore if you require urgent advice please make an appointment to see Bev Moseley at Nockolds Monday – Friday 9 – 5:30pm or during the Employment Legal Surgeries on 01279 755 777.
