CILEx awards finalists revealed

CILEx (the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives) has unveiled the finalists for its inaugural National Awards, due to be held on 6 September at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. The event will be hosted by comedian Sally Phillips. CILEx Chief Executive Linda Ford, who is one of the judges, said: ‘What was especially encouraging was the high standard of the entries, which made our job pleasingly difficult.’ CILEx President Millicent Grant said: ‘It is time for CILEx and its members to be loud and proud about the role we play.’ The National Awards form part of the ‘CILEx is changing’ project, which includes a major overhaul of the organisation’s governance.
