Judge & Priestley shortlisted for two Resolution Awards 2026

Judge & Priestley has been shortlisted in two categories at the Resolution Awards 2026: Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion and the Resolution Wellbeing Award. Winners will be announced at a gala awards night on Thursday 24 September at Church House, London.

Resolution is the membership association for family justice professionals across England and Wales, representing solicitors, barristers, mediators and other practitioners committed to a non-confrontational, constructive approach to family law. Its annual awards recognise members and firms that go above and beyond to champion Resolution’s Code of Practice, with finalists selected by an expert judging panel from across the sector.

As Resolution represents the family justice community specifically, particular weight in this year’s shortlisting fell on Judge & Priestley’s Family team, whose work was put forward for consideration across both categories.

The Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Champion category recognises an individual or group driving positive change in EDI, and the firm’s nomination reflects the work of its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee in building a more inclusive culture, both within the Family team and across the wider business. The Resolution Wellbeing Award recognises an individual or firm that has championed a healthy workplace and prioritised the wellbeing of colleagues, employees, or the wider family justice community, an area in which Judge & Priestley was also recently recognised at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026.

Commenting on the shortlisting, Kelly Sharman, Partner and Head of Family, said:

“We are incredibly proud to have been shortlisted in both the Wellbeing and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion categories at the Resolution Awards. These nominations reflect the values that underpin everything we do in the Family team and the firm as a whole. We are committed to creating an inclusive, supportive environment for both our people and our clients, and it’s rewarding to see those efforts recognised by our peers. Congratulations to everyone involved in making our team and our firm such a positive place to work and to receive support during some of life’s most challenging moments.”

Headquartered in Bromley, with offices in Central London, Blackheath, Beckenham and Sidcup, Judge & Priestley continues to invest in initiatives supporting its people and clients, including its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee, its network of Mental Health First Aiders, and its ‘People First’ wellbeing strategy.
