Entries are now open for the 10th annual LexisNexis Family Law Awards
With many lawyers working remotely, often juggling other responsibilities, in unfamiliar circumstances and isolated from colleagues, it is more important than ever to engage with the family law community. One way to do this is to enter yourself or your organisation for one of the 21 awards at the Family Law Awards. This must be done by midnight on 5 June. The Awards are free to enter and you can enter as many categories as you like.

The awards will be presented at a ceremony on 25 November, at The Ballroom South Bank, London.

To enter or find out more, visit www.familylawawards.com and follow the tweets at #familylawawards.
