Awards and recognition

Presented by the local homeless charity, Oasis Community Housing, at their Black and Gold Ball fundraiser, the award is in recognition of the support we’ve given the charity over the past 12 months and celebrates the success of our corporate partnership.

Our real estate team has once again been shortlisted for Property Law Firm of the Year at the Insider North East Property Awards.

The Better Health at Work Award recognises the efforts of employers in the North East and Cumbria in addressing health issues within the workplace.

We hold ‘Continuing Excellence’ status which recognises the sustained progress we have made during our participation in the award scheme and how we use our experience to support others.

Our client’s deals landed deal of the year awards in both the under and over £10m categories.

Deal of the Year (below £10m) – Acquisition of Stirling Solutions by Mandata Group

Deal of the Year (above £10m) – Kitwave IPO

Matthew Walsh and Sarah Forster were shortlisted in the Lawyer of the Year category with Sarah going on to win the award.

The finalists have been announced for the North East Business Awards 2021 and we’re delighted to announce that we’ve been shortlisted in two categories.

We’ve been recognised for our community work as well as our new technology development with nominations in the ‘Heart of the Community’ and ‘Innovation and Technology’ categories.

In April 2021 we won:

Corporate Lawyer of the Year: Philip Clare

Deal of the Year Award (under £10m): Acquisition of Returnloads.net by Mandata

Deal of the Year (over £10m): Acquisition of Thomas Cook retail stores by Hays Travel

We are delighted that Oasis Community Housing – the fantastic homelessness support charity – have awarded us their Platinum Shared Value Award

The accolade acknowledges ‘platinum level support for the mission and work of Oasis’, in its efforts to reignite hope for those facing homelessness.

We were delighted to be one of just 3 finalists shortlisted for ‘CSR Team of the Year’ at the UK Third Sector Business Charity Awards, alongside household names ITV and Aviva. Judges were impressed by our ‘well-rounded, clearly laid out corporate responsibility strategy’ and said Muckle is ‘a great example of a medium sized firm making an impact in the local community’.

We are delighted to announce that corporate partner Philip Clare has been recognised as one of the UK’s ‘most daring, innovative and creative’ solicitors by being named in the The Lawyer’s UK-wide hot 100 list.
