The purpose of the awards is to identify in-house counsel, both teams and individuals, that excel in their specific roles. Our primary aim is to reward lawyers for demonstrable achievements across the full spectrum of in-house responsibility, not simply those who have acted on high-profile transactions.
Winners will have performed above and beyond the usual requirements of their professional capability. The research team will focus on criteria such as effective communication, legal understanding, commercial awareness, depth and strength of team and management skills, as well as any significant projects or transactions in which they have played an integral role.
