Junior Lawyer of the Year Win at the Hampshire Law Awards

3 June 2026

Phillips Law are celebrating a highly successful night at the annual Hampshire Law Society Awards, bringing home multiple accolades, including the prestigious ‘Junior Lawyer of the Year’ title.

Kelly Geter, a highly regarded Family Solicitor at the firm, took home the top prize for Junior Lawyer of the Year. The award recognises her exceptional dedication, thoughtfulness, and commitment to providing outstanding service to families across the region.

The Hampshire Law Society Awards celebrate the best and brightest legal talent across the county, and this year’s results cement Phillips Law’s reputation as a leading presence in the Hampshire business and legal community.

It was a night of widespread recognition for Phillips, as we are celebrating our 40th anniversary.

Alongside Kelly’s win, Phillips Law was officially recognised as a runner-up in their category at this year’s awards, a testament to the hard work and high standards maintained by the entire team, with George English and Sarah Filsell also nominated.

Colleague Sian Lias was also celebrated, securing a runner-up position for her outstanding contributions over the past year. Rounding out a brilliant evening for the team, colleagues Fazila Akhtar and Kate Atkinson even walked away as winners in the evening’s raffle.

David Robinson, Managing Director, commented on the evening’s success:

“We are absolutely thrilled for Kelly. As one of our dedicated Family Solicitors, we see her thoughtfulness and hard work first-hand every single day. We are so glad to see her talent being recognised by the wider Hampshire legal community.

We also want to extend our congratulations to Sian on her runner-up achievement, and a huge thank you to all of our staff. It is their collective hard work and dedication that culminated in Phillips Law being recognised at this year’s awards. We couldn’t be prouder of our team.”
