Pam Loch of Loch Associates Group, based in Mount Ephraim Road, received the new Dynamic Award, which was set up after it emerged that only 26 per cent of winners in the Sussex, Surrey or Brighton & Hove Business Awards were women, according to organiser Platinum Media Group.
Ms Loch’s award recognised her legal services to business, with judges saying she was a woman who motivated others, breaking the glass ceiling and paving her own path, while encouraging others and setting an example for the next generation of female leaders.
At the awards ceremony at The Grand Brighton last Wednesday, Ms Loch said: “I am delighted and surprised at winning the Lawyer of the Year Award at the Dynamic Awards.
“It means even more to be in the company of some incredible businesswomen and it was wonderful to be part of such an empowered and inspirational group of people.”
Her firm, which has offices in Kent, Sussex and London, also won the professional services firm of the year at the 2022 Brighton & Hove Business Awards.
“It is a great result for every one of our team members. It is a team effort that makes the difference and makes us winners,” added Ms Loch, who founded the firm in 2007.
Loch Associates offers employment law, dispute resolution, commercial business services, HR consultancy, learning solutions, health and safety, corporate employee wellbeing programmes and mediation services.
