The annual Legal Business Awards – overview

Celebrating the very best in the legal profession and consistently favoured by the industry’s leading lawyers as the most prestigious and highly-respected awards on the legal calendar, 2018’s awards saw over 900 guests attend.

In keeping with Legal Business magazine, the Awards are specifically aimed at partners and managing partners, and showcase a guest list reading like a who’s who of the profession. Consequently, the Legal Business Awards achieve a higher proportion of top-level senior and managing partners in attendance than other legal awards ceremonies.

The event is preceded by our GC Powerlist reception, hosted on the same night, which has led to growing numbers of senior in-house lawyers attending the main awards event, thus cementing the reason for law firms to be present and increasingly positioning the Legal Business Awards as the ‘must attend’ event for networking.

Sponsorship is available for each category awarded on the night. The Awards provide an excellent marketing platform on which sponsors can raise their company’s profile among the industry’s most influential players and confirm their commitment as service providers to the legal profession.
