The shortlist for the prestigious LexisNexis Legal Awards 2024 has been announced

The 19 categories range from Deal of the Year to Business Development, and from Pro Bono to Sustainability, Wellbeing to Dispute Resolution, Law Firm, Chambers and, of course, the Halsbury Award for Rule of Law. Winners will be selected by a panel of judges and presented with their awards at a ceremony on 14 March.

As always, NLJ readers are invited to select the winner of one of the awards—Legal Personality of the Year.

The four on this shortlist include a solicitor at Advocate for Animals, the UK’s only specialist animal protection law firm, who is currently bringing a Court of Appeal case on the treatment of hens. Also nominated are a ‘crypto divorce lawyer’, a barrister focused on domestic abuse cases, and the creator of Crafty Counsel.

Cast your vote here by 5pm on 16 February.

And view the shortlist on the LexisNexis Legal Awards website.
