National recognition for University of Exeter legal team

University of Exeter Legal Services have been crowned ‘In-house Team of the Year’ at the inaugural Halsbury Legal Awards.

The awards were launched for the first time this year to celebrate excellence in law and recognise some of the great contributions to the legal sector. The ‘In-house Team of the Year’ category was specifically created to recognise a team who have delivered an exceptional level of legal support to their business.

The Legal Team were shortlisted alongside three other global and national companies and demonstrated to the judges that the service they offer to the University is amongst the very best in the country.

Claire Turner, Director of Legal and Insurance Services said: “We are delighted to be recognised as the ‘In-House Team of the Year’. We are a small team and are constantly evolving to meet the needs of the University. What makes the Exeter team unique is that we not only provide legal and contracts advice but also support the University with the insurance and business continuity requirements of such a large and diverse institution.  I am really proud of the whole team for their individual efforts and the first-class service that they provide on a daily basis.”

Claire Baines Chief Operating Officer said “This is a wonderful achievement. To win one of the first Halsbury Legal Awards is highly prestigious and we can all be extremely proud of both the award and the services that Claire and her team offer the University. Legal and Insurance Services consistently offer high quality of advice and make a significant contribution to the growth, development and governance of the University on a daily basis. Well done to everyone involved – we’re proud of your success.”
