The awards, now in their second year, recognise the outstanding work of paralegals and law firms that support the development of the paralegal profession. There are 16 categories.
The Professional Paralegal Register (PPR), which runs the awards, will announce the winners at a black-tie ceremony in London’s Grand Connaught Rooms on 27 March.
Amir Ali, chairman of the CCUA and head judge of the awards, said: ‘I and the judging panel were very impressed by the high standard of entries shortlisted.
‘Paralegals are the backbone of the legal sector, often at the coalface who receive little or no recognition for the vital role they perform within the industry, and professional awards such as these are a fantastic opportunity to congratulate all finalists on their achievements and successes.’
Rita Leat, managing director of the PPR, said: ‘Yet again, the number of high quality entries we received represents the breadth and range of paralegal activity and excellent work undertaken in the UK.’
