As part of the NFU Legal Assistance Scheme’s 30th birthday celebrations during 2017, it was decided to create an NFU Legal Panel Excellence Award.

Audits judged each legal firm based on a set of criteria – and Wilkin Chapman, which is the NFU’s Legal Panel firm for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire – scored the highest.

With seven offices across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, including offices in Horncastle, Louth, Alford and Market Rasen, Wilkin Chapman is the region’s largest law firm.

Speaking of the award, Andrew Holt said: “We are honoured to receive this inaugural award ahead of 15 other legal panel firms.

“This was so unexpected but we are absolutely delighted to have received this recognition from the NFU.  We work very hard to ensure that we provide the best possible service to the NFU and legal advice to its members.”
