The winners of the annual Services to Legacy Award and Young Professional of the Year Award were announced at IRLA Congress on Tuesday 11 June 2019 with the titles going to two female lawyers.
The Services to Legacy Award was won by Geraldine Quirk of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. Geraldine is one of the leading experts on portfolio transfer schemes, particularly in the legacy/run-off industry, and has developed a reputation as one of the ‘go to’ lawyers in this area.
The Young Professional of the Year Award was won by Jennifer Connolly, a highly regarded assistant solicitor at Weightmans LLP who is also heavily involved with the IRLA Young Professionals Group.
Congratulations to both of our winners.
