Michael Rubenstein (pictured centre), founder and editor of the Industrial Relations Law Reports since their inception in 1972, received the lifetime contribution award at the ceremony in London last week. Rubenstein’s work on this and other titles marks him out as a pioneer in legal publishing. He was also the key drafter of the European Commission’s Code of Practice on combating sexual harassment at work.
The accolade of legal personality of the year went to John Schorah, managing partner, Weightmans, whose achievements include a successful merger and launching the Leadership Academy and apprenticeship scheme. Schorah said: ‘I am so proud of our people and the hard work they have put in.’
Cripps took home the prize for law firm of the year, while New Park Court won the chambers category and Kone won in-house. The Halsbury Award for Rule of Law went to litigation funder Therium. See a full list here
