Please submit your nominations for the Women & Diversity in Law Awards 2026 below.

We strongly encourage you to nominate yourself and your team/firm, as well as colleagues, teams and businesses you admire.

There is no limit to the number of individuals, teams and businesses you can nominate: please use a separate form for each one. Individuals can be nominated for a maximum of three categories.

There is space for you to include an optional statement on the reason for your nomination. The deadline for nominations is Thursday 23 October.

Entries
Once the list of nominees has been published, the nominees are invited to enter the awards by completing and submitting questionnaires which have been carefully framed to allow for a fair judging process. Unsuitable nominations – for example because they do not meet the criteria – will not be published or entered into the judging process.

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).
