Baroness Hale, who retired earlier this year as President of the Supreme Court, received the prestigious Lifetime Contribution Award at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2020

The event (formerly the Halsbury Legal Awards) in central London last week celebrates those firms, companies and individuals that have advanced the rule of law through brilliant practice and innovation.

Baroness Hale said: ‘My message is that nothing is impossible if you want it hard enough and try hard enough.’

Ryan Whelan, associate at Gibson Dunn, was voted Legal Personality of the Year for his successful pro bono campaign to make ‘upskirting’ a criminal offence. Doughty Street won International Team of the Year for its work protecting vulnerable journalists.

The P.R.I.M.E Finance Foundation took the Rule of Law award for its work training judges on complex financial products. Dechert’s pro bono representation of prisoners of conscience was also recognised.

LexisNexis Managing Director UK, Ireland & Pacific, Christian Fleck, said: ‘It is inspiring to see so many outstanding entries.’
