Family Law Awards 2019: entry deadline extended

Due to popular demand and school holidays, the deadline for entries for the Family Law Awards 2019 has been extended to midnight on Friday 14 June

There are 19 award categories to choose from for both individuals and organisations, including two new awards categories – Family Law Innovation of the Year and Family Law Dispute Resolution Team of the Year. Enter online via the straightforward form at www.familylawawards.com.

Since launching in 2011, the awards have firmly established themselves as a key date in the family law calendar, celebrating the success and achievements of family lawyers and the vital contribution that they make to society. The 2019 ceremony will take place on Wednesday 27 November at the Ballroom South Bank, London.

The shortlist will be chosen by a judging panel made up of the heads of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution and the Association of Lawyers for Children, along with Family Law editors and publishing executives.

In keeping with tradition, three of this year's Awards will be voted for by the family law community (Clerking Team, Legal Executive, and Commentator Awards). A shortlist of four nominees will be selected by LexisNexis from the nominations received and voting will open on the Family Law Awards website in September.
