Celebrating Our Two Finalist Nominations at the BHBiz26 Awards
The Jonathan Lea Network was delighted to be named as a finalist in two categories at the BHBiz26 Awards 2026, recognising the hard work, dedication and achievements of our team.
The awards celebrate outstanding businesses, teams and individuals across the local business community, providing an opportunity to recognise professional excellence, innovation and success.
Recognising Our Corporate Team
Our Corporate Team was shortlisted for the Team of Stars award, recognising the collective efforts of our solicitors and wider team in supporting businesses through a broad range of corporate and commercial matters.
The nomination was a fantastic acknowledgement of the team’s collaborative and forward-thinking approach to delivering high-quality legal services. By combining senior legal expertise, talented junior support and the effective use of secure AI, they provide efficient, commercially focused and practical advice tailored to each client’s needs.
Central to this is a personal and responsive approach, with an emphasis on building strong client relationships, clear communication and understanding each client’s individual objectives. Working closely with the wider Jonathan Lea Network, the team takes a joined-up approach to helping businesses across Sussex, the UK and beyond achieve their goals.
Celebrating Andrew Haimdas
We were equally pleased to see our Associate Solicitor, Andrew Haimdas, named as a finalist in the Bright Star category.
Andrew plays an important role within our Corporate Team, bringing a conscientious and thoughtful approach to his work, together with legal expertise and commercial insight that go well beyond his years of experience. He has built excellent relationships with clients through his approachable manner, attention to detail and genuine commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes. Beyond his professional abilities, Andrew is known for his kind and generous nature and great sense of humour, making him a highly valued and much-liked member of the team.
His nomination was a well-deserved recognition of both his professional achievements and the positive contribution he makes to the firm and those around him.
Celebrating Local Business Excellence
Being shortlisted in two categories was a proud achievement for The Jonathan Lea Network and a reflection of the talent and commitment of our team.
The awards evening provided an excellent opportunity to celebrate alongside other local businesses and professionals, recognising the individuals and organisations contributing to the success of our business community.
We would like to congratulate all the winners and finalists and thank the organisers for bringing together so many inspiring businesses and individuals.
We are incredibly proud of our Corporate Team and Andrew for their achievements and look forward to building on this recognition in the future.
