Shieldpay

Headline Sponsor

Shieldpay is proud to be a headline sponsor of the Manchester Legal Awards 2025. As a regulated, platform-led payments partner, we support law firms in managing client money securely, efficiently and in full compliance with SRA requirements. From litigation payouts to M&A transactions, our platform acts as a trusted payment partner across a wide range of use cases.

The North West is a critical region for us. With deep roots in Manchester and longstanding relationships across the legal sector here, we are passionate about the vibrancy, ambition and calibre of this legal community. It’s not just a hub for legal services, but a growing centre for innovation, collaboration and growth, values that sit at the heart of our business.

We’re proud to support firms of all sizes with optionality when it comes to managing client funds – whether through TPMAs, escrows, paying agents or a multi-hybrid approach – we offer a smooth tech-enabled payment journey for your clients. Firms that partner with Shieldpay value our speed, service and deep understanding of what the legal industry needs from a payments provider – especially in a regulatory environment that’s moving fast.

Shieldpay is authorised and regulated by the FCA, ISO 27001 accredited and we consistently achieve Green scores for AML and Financial Crime audits. We work with many of the top 200 firms across the UK and internationally. Whether you’re handling complex settlements, cross-border deals or need a partner who can help navigate change, we’re here to help.
