Ralli to attend Manchester Legal Awards
Thu 4th Mar 10 - 11:35

Ralli will be attending tonight's first ever Manchester Legal Awards at the Midland Hotel, after being nominated for Team of the Year-Pro Bono/Community Initiative.

The Manchester Law Society and Manchester Evening News have joined forces to host the event, which showcases the huge legal talent in the region, and to recognise the range of practices and skills needed to create and sustain a successful firm.

Ralli have been nominated for our continued support for Melignant Melanoma charity Factor 50, which was started by our very own PR & Marketing Manager, Gillian Nuttall.

Gillian comments ahead of tomorrows awards:

"When I heard that Ralli had been short listed for a Manchester Legal Award I was very excited indeed.   When I realised the nomination related to the work we have done for Factor 50 and The Christie, I was beside myself!   Fran Eccles-Bech of the Manchester Law Society said they were "absolutely overwhelmed" by the nominations received so to make it onto a shortlist is a tremendous achievement in itself. Ralli were nominated for awards in several categories but our shortlist success came in the "Team of the Year - Pro Bono/Community Initiative" category.  Competition for the award is fierce as we are up against Eversheds and Hill Dickinson.
 
The awards are sponsored jointly by the Manchester Law Society and the Manchester Evening News and have created a real buzz throughout the city.

This is a situation where we have has punched well above our weight. The positive PR that this will generate not only about town but also with our local Law Society and the Manchester Evening News is wonderful.  
 
Maria Penny was interviewed by the judging panel and gave a great account of the work that we have done for The Christie, not only from a fund raising aspect, but giving back to the community with sponsorship initiatives.   
 
We will be well represented at the event, having a table of 10 Ralli people. Fingers crossed that we bring the award home!"
