The entry process for The Lawyer Awards takes place entirely online. Each entry must be in the form of a written submission of no more than 1000 words. The judges are looking for concise written submissions and your entry should cover as many of the listed criteria as possible. Where applicable you may support your entry with additional relevant material.
This year we are also asking for the names of 5 referees, who The Lawyer Editorial Research Team may contact to carry out further background research on your submission; this research will be used to supplement the judges’ results.
Please follow the steps below to make your entry
Please note: In the event that your entry is shortlisted, all entry form details e.g. Entry title/Name of deal as completed in the online entry process will be used on Awards collateral (e.g. Website, Awards graphics, Awards Supplement, and in the event that your entry wins, on the trophy).
Copy will adhere to the magazine’s house style e.g. Ltds, PLCs, LLP’s etc will be removed
