Leading regional law firm Banner Jones has been shortlisted for the prestigious 'Mansfield Business of the Year' award at the upcoming Mansfield and Ashfield Business Network (MABN) Awards.

The awards ceremony is scheduled for Friday, March 14, 2025, at Portland College, celebrating local excellence across various sectors. ​

With a strong presence in Mansfield for over 11 years, following the merger with Bilton Hammond in 2013, Banner Jones has been committed to providing no-nonsense legal advice tailored to individual needs and circumstances.

The firm currently employs 18 staff members in the Mansfield area and has plans to recruit an additional four, reflecting its ongoing growth and dedication to the local community.​

Banner Jones offers a comprehensive range of personal and business legal services to clients both locally and nationwide. The firm's innovative approach includes the development of an online client portal, allowing clients to securely complete onboarding processes, including document signing, from the comfort of their own homes—saving time and reducing paper usage.​

The residential property team at Banner Jones is ranked first in the Mansfield area for the number of completions by local firms, with new transactions growing by 20%, contributing to an overall business growth of 9%.

The firm’s Mansfield conveyancing teams are also 15 days quicker to completion than the national average, with post-completion submission work now dealt with 16 days after legal completion (ten days quicker than our largest regional competitor), ensuring ownership at the Land Registry is dealt with as a priority, giving our clients peace of mind.

Additionally, the firm holds the top position in Mansfield on the independent review platform 'ReviewSolicitors.co.uk,' boasting a score of 4.7/5 from almost 1,000 reviews, with 96% of clients recommending their services.​

Beyond legal services, Banner Jones demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting local communities through various initiatives. These include free Will workshops at John Eastwood Hospice, free employment law workshops at Mansfield Innovation Centre, continued sponsorship of Mansfield Town FC, participation in charitable events, and active attendance at networking events.

In 2024 alone, the firm raised over £30,000 for charities and causes, underscoring its dedication to making a positive impact in the region.​

Commenting on the news, Banner Jones’ Chief Executive Simon Wright said: “This recognition is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team, who consistently go above and beyond to support our clients and the local community.
