Ros Bever, family law expert and National Head of Family at leading national law firm Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth, has been awarded bronze for ‘Inspirational Woman of the Year’ at the Citywealth Powerwomen Awards.

The awards took place at the Rosewood Hotel in London, recognising several women in the financial and legal sectors for their achievements.

Ros' award win follows her recent inclusion on Citywealth's Powerwomen Top 50 list, which includes women from the legal and financial sectors. One of only four lawyers named outside of London, Ros is the only woman from Manchester to make the list.

Ros said of the award: "It's fantastic to have received this award so soon after being included on Citywealth's Top 50. I'm absolutely thrilled to be recognised for the excellent work our team is doing on behalf of our clients."

Speaking about her recent inclusion on Citywealth's Top 50, Ros also said: "I was born and raised in Manchester, so being from here is a big part of my identity both personally and professionally. I'm proud to be flying the flag for family law outside of the capital.

"Though I love working with my clients in London, the Powerwomen list shows that you don't have to go to the capital to find great lawyers who are working on some of the very best and cutting-edge cases."
