Entry Instructions

The awards are open to people working in any capacity in the UK legal sector, so long as they meet the category criteria. The same principle applies to organisations and teams. Individuals may enter a maximum of three categories. Please note that while the Outstanding Women Leaders and Outstanding Women Practitioners sections are reserved for women, the Diversity and Inclusion section is open to everyone.

Time period

The awards recognise achievements in the period after September 2024, although it is understood that entries may touch on events prior to this date. For example, a case may have started before then. Equally, a case may not be complete, but a significant landmark may have been reached during the time period.

Rising stars

The rising star categories are reserved for lawyers who will have had no more than six years of post-qualification experience as of 4 December 2025 (the deadline for entries).

Thank you for helping us celebrate excellence.
