Syed Shah, a legal advisor and trainee solicitor at Carter Law Solicitors of Manchester, has been nominated as a finalist for the prestigious Young Achiever of the Year Award in the Eclipse Proclaim Personal Injury Awards.

Twenty-eight year-old Syed, a resident of Manchester who has worked at the firm for three years, was noticed for his considerable efforts and nominated by a colleague to receive the award.

The award ceremony is set to take place in London at the Grange St, Paul’s Hotel in London.

A statement from Carter Law read, "Syed has been consistently recognised at Carter Law for going the extra mile; not only is he a record setting fee-earner handling the highest caseload at the firm, but he was also commended for working on Christmas day last year as he had a trial approaching and wanted to achieve the best outcome for his client."

John McKie of Hill Dickinson LLP and Sam Lloyd of Browne Jacobson LLP are also finalists in this category.
