Entries are invited for this year’s Halsbury Legal Awards, which are run in association with NLJ.
The awards, now in their fourth year, celebrate the finest achievements and talents of remarkable individuals and teams across the legal sector. The Bar, legal practice, in-house counsel, academia and legal journalism will all be recognised, as will contributions to the promotion, growth and value of the legal sector.
Award categories include new awards for exceptional achievement in law firms and chambers, and a Legal PR/Media Comms award, introduced to recognise and celebrate the major contribution made by legal PR and communication professionals who work in-house or in the legal sector.
Awards will also be made for innovation, business development, diversity and inclusion, and law in the community. The outstanding achievements of public sector and in-house legal teams will also be recognised.
Last year’s winners included the former Attorney General Dominic Grieve QC MP, who was recognised for his contribution to the rule of law, and terror watchdog David Anderson QC, who was awarded the Legal Personality of the Year award for his integrity and independent stance.
The closing date for entry is 3 June 2016. The awards will be presented at an awards dinner to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, on 29 September.
