Vote for Legal Personality of the Year

Your vote is needed! NLJ readers are invited to help choose the winner of the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2025 Legal Personality of the Year.

A shortlist of candidates has been drawn up by NLJ’s editorial team, based on who has made an outstanding contribution in the legal sphere in the past year. Now you can have your say here. You must cast your vote by 5pm on 14 February. The winner will be announced at the awards ceremony, on 13 March.

Choose between eight high-achieving nominees, ranging from a lawyer who set up a non-profit campaigning to address the harm caused by fake social media accounts, to the founder of an agency dedicated to making the legal profession more psychologically informed and a happier and healthier place to work.
