Thrings Solicitor Sam Longmore has been named Junior Lawyer of the Year at this year’s Hampshire Law Society Awards.

Sam qualified as a Solicitor last year, having started his career in law at Thrings’ Romsey office back in 2018 and today specialises in Succession and Tax as part of the firm’s Private Client team.

Held this year at the Macdonald Botley Park Hotel in Southampton, the annual awards recognise the outstanding individuals and firms in Hampshire’s legal sector. Nominated alongside Sam was Thrings Partner Karen Perugini, who was shortlisted in the Lawyer of the Year category.

Celebrating those inside their first five years of qualification, the Junior Lawyer category shines the spotlight on the up-and-coming talent from firms across Hampshire, their contribution to their firms and the work they do in their communities.

Following the awards, Sam said: “It’s an honour to have been named Hampshire’s Junior Lawyer of the Year and I’m very grateful to the firm for considering me worthy of being nominated. I want to thank the Hampshire Law Society for this award and for the fantastic night I and my colleagues had at the awards dinner.”

Simon Holdsworth, Thrings Managing Partner, said: “We are absolutely thrilled for Sam who very much deserves this award and on behalf of the whole firm I want to congratulate him on this recognition. His commitment to his colleagues and clients is demonstrated on a daily basis and we are delighted to have him as part of the team.”
