The awards ceremony will take place on 16 September, and will recognise talent and achievement across the whole legal spectrum. Categories include: law firm of the year; chambers of the year; legal journalism; PSL; in-house team of the year; and public sector team. Awards will also be made for innovation, business development, diversity and inclusion, and law in the community.

Last year’s winners included Lord Judge, the former Lord Chief Justice, who was awarded the lifetime achievement award, and the Bingham Centre, which won the rule of law award for its range of projects promoting justice both at home and abroad.

Entries can be made online before 5 June.
