In the heart of our department, hard work is the norm, and the results speak for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Amidst this dynamic team, two exceptional individuals have been recognised by the Warwickshire Law Society, receiving prestigious awards and nominations for their outstanding contributions at the annual Law Society Awards 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Bolochowecki, who is one exam away from being a qualified Conveyancing Technician, won the Warwickshire Law Society Award for Young Lawyer of the Year, thanks to her passion for the law, quest for equality, and tireless charity efforts. However, the accolades don\u2019t end there. Laura Toner, our Head of Conveyancing and Emma\u2019s Manager, secured a first runner-up nomination for the same award, adding to the celebrations within our department!<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Young Lawyer of the Year<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Despite her remarkable progress at CTT Law since joining the team in 2021, Emma was taken by surprise with the nomination. She says, &#8220;I suffered from a lack of confidence prior to joining CTT Law, so to have been nominated and recognised in something that I love doing is fantastic!\u201d She goes on to say, &#8220;It was all very secretive. When I was told I\u2019d been put forward for the award, I cried!&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Commitment to Excellence\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Emma spent 12 years in the legal industry, most of which as a conveyancing legal secretary in another law firm before making the move to CTT Law just over two years ago. She made an immediate impact with her outstanding performance. \u201cIt was very obvious that Emma was capable of handling more complex work than she was doing,\u201d remarks Laura.<\/p>\n<p>Upholding our commitment to provide training and development, the team at CTT Law soon included Emma in more specialised legal tasks. \u201cEmma was ready for a challenge to make her realise she can do these things and build her confidence,\u201d explains Laura.<\/p>\n<p>In just two and a half years, Emma moved from a paralegal position to that of Junior Fee Earner and most recently Emma was promoted to a full Fee Earning role. Laura emphasises the excellence in Emma\u2019s journey: \u201cTo have that progression in just over two years is amazing!\u201d she says, but such progression is not uncommon at CTT Law.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her sincere commitment to her legal responsibilities, Emma&#8217;s award victory extends beyond her legal career. &#8220;I\u2019m a huge fan of Eurovision and what it represents in terms of equal rights \u2013 it\u2019s something I spoke about in my award interview,&#8221; she shares, recounting the surprise of the judges.<\/p>\n<p>Emma not only impressed Warwickshire Law Society bosses with her advocacy for equal rights and positivity, but also with her dedication to charity work. &#8220;I\u2019ve always been involved in charity work; I believe if you <em>can<\/em> help someone out, you should do it,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>A standout fundraising moment for Emma was her collaboration with Leamington-based charity, Helping Hands, for which she was involved in raising thousands of pounds for the homeless community together with other members of her family. &#8220;We sang on stage and walked the pride parade with my stepdad dressed in drag to raise money for those within the LGBTQ+ community facing homelessness \u2013 among other events!&#8221; she recalls fondly. Recently appointed head of the CTT Law\u2019s Charity Committee, she assures, &#8220;There will be some things in the pipeline this year!&#8221;\u00a0and we will once again be raising funds for Helping Hands, the firm\u2019s chosen charity for 2024.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>A Double Win<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Emma\u2019s journey with CTT seems almost destined. Reflecting on her time since joining, Emma beams, &#8220;I\u2019ve loved it from the start. The second I had the interview with Tony, I knew I wanted to work at CTT Law. It\u2019s such a great place to work; everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and helpful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expressing gratitude to Laura, who secured a runner-up place for the prestigious award, Emma acknowledges the invaluable support she has received from her Head of Conveyancing, \u201cLaura teaches me something on a daily basis!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Laura, a Licensed Conveyancer, was nominated for the award by CTT Law\u2019s Managing Director and Head of Legal Practice, Anthony Mbanefo. She assumed her role as Head of Conveyancing at the age of just 26, confirming Anthony\u2019s trust and confidence in her ability.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining CTT Law, Laura has played a pivotal role in the firm&#8217;s growth. &#8220;When I started, we were a small team; since then, we\u2019ve almost tripled in size.&#8221; Entering her managerial role with personal goals and aspirations, Laura\u2019s succeeded in increasing the lender panel membership to include mortgage work and obtaining the Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) accreditation for the firm, reflecting CTT Law\u2019s high standards of service.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, Laura&#8217;s focus is on steering the team&#8217;s expansion into other areas of conveyancing and law while ensuring the ongoing development and training of current staff, highlighting the broader significance of the two nominations for the team; &#8220;To be recognised with an award from the Law Society in this region is fantastic. It shows that we are amazing, and our people are amazing,\u201d she says, noting that CTT Law secured two of the three nominations for the award.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>CTT Law\u2019s Unique Legal Culture\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Both Laura and Emma define CTT Law as a contemporary and distinctive legal practice. &#8220;It&#8217;s a highly collaborative environment. We never experience the dreaded Monday blues,&#8221; chuckles Laura. That\u2019s because at CTT Law, we take pride in creating a dynamic workplace that fosters a collaborative atmosphere, providing support for individuals in both their personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n<p>Anthony emphasises, &#8220;One of the privileges of working in CTT Group is that we place a lot of emphasis on the identification and development of talent.&#8221; He expresses his pride in Laura and Emma for their well-deserved nominations, stating, &#8220;I already considered them both winners. I believe this award hasn&#8217;t fully explored their potential. I hope this marks the beginning of numerous awards for them and the entire staff at the firm.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We extend our heartfelt congratulations to both Emma and Laura for their exceptional achievements and we are excited to facilitate their fantastic legal journeys!<\/p>\n<p>To discover more about our <a href=\"https:\/\/cttlaw.co.uk\/services\/\">services<\/a> and find out how our exceptional team can deliver award winning, 5-star rated, legal solutions to support your needs, please <a href=\"https:\/\/cttlaw.co.uk\/contact\/\">get in touch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"wrapper\">\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"inner-wrapper before-bg-color\">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":15998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CTT Law celebrates double win at Warwickshire Law Society Awards\u00a0 - CTT Group<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"CTT Group\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"5 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/\",\"name\":\"CTT Law celebrates double win at Warwickshire Law Society Awards\u00a0 - CTT Group\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2024-04-03T12:00:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-04-02T09:12:15+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/#\/schema\/person\/2ee80a3f05c1786db5a83a7eb1dc2006\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-GB\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/ctt-law-celebrates-double-win-at-warwickshire-law-society-awards\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"CTT Group\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CTT Law celebrates double win at Warwickshire Law Society Awards\u00a0\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/ctt-group.co.uk\/\",\"name\":\"CTT Group\",\"description\":\"Problem Solvers.
