We are delighted to announce that we are proud recipients of not one, but two Yorkshire Prestige Awards: Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year and Psychiatric Injury Lawyer of the Year, the latter awarded to our Director and Head of Psychiatric Injury, Jessica Rowson.
Jessica, along with Emma Piorkowska, our Deputy Head of Psychiatric Injury, and Nicola Fox, our HR Manager, were present on the night to collect their awards, accompanied by our Head of Marketing, Kamile Banyte.

Abbie Keech, Solicitor and Managing Director says:
“We are delighted to receive a Prestige Award for Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year. Our team is busier and working harder than ever to ensure that we offer the best possible service to our clients, and this award reflects their many achievements this year.
“Secondly, we are proud to add that our Director and Head of Psychiatric Injury, Jessica Rowson, is also the recipient of the Prestige Award for Psychiatric Injury Lawyer of the year.
“Jess has risen through the ranks in her fifteen years with the firm, from Paralegal to Solicitor, Director and Head of Department, so it is wonderful to have her loyalty, dedication and determination acknowledged by the Prestige Awards.
“Oakwood Solicitors has been serving clients in North Leeds and across the nation since 2001, and we have developed a strong mix of skills amongst our colleagues from all walks of life. We hope to continue providing these skills within the ever-competitive Legal sector for many years to come.”
The Prestige Awards were launched to “celebrate the businesses and individuals that consistently offer excellent products and services to local residents, ex-pats and tourist visitors alike.”
The awards team believes that SMEs are the backbone of any economy, and play a part in displaying what makes a city or region unique.
Osmaan Mahmood, Founder & CEO of Prestige Awards, states on their website:
“Although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”
We would just like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the team for all their hard work, without which it would not have been possible to receive our Personal Injury Law Firm of the Year award. We hope this spurs everyone on to even greater heights in 2026!
We have been proudly helping clients with their matters within the community of North Leeds as well as across the nation for over twenty years, with cases ranging from Personal Injury and Industrial Disease to Stress at Work and Medical Negligence, alongside many other specialist areas.
Our team puts the individual first and we have a fully in-house team, which means that you can access all of our expertise under one roof.
