FT Innovative Lawyers Ranking and Awards, Europe 2012 17 Feb 2012

We are pleased to invite submissions and nominations from law firms and legal service providers in Europe for the 2012 FT Innovative Lawyers rankings and awards.

Since 2006, this unique analysis has sought to recognise market leaders in the legal industry by measuring and rewarding uniqueness and value delivered to clients – rather than more conventional metrics such as size, revenue and profit.

Indeed, in many legal solutions and management initiatives, how lawyers innovate is often the only way they can differentiate themselves from their peers.

For the past three years, the rankings have focused on a particular theme: change, collaboration and most recently, bold thinking. This year, however, the challenges facing the legal profession are such that innovation itself is the theme that binds.

We are inviting submissions in the following categories:

• Legal expertise: corporate
• Legal expertise: finance
• Legal expertise: dispute resolution
• Legal expertise: private clients and wealth
• Client service
• Corporate strategy
• Value resourcing
• Legal industry pioneers

We are also inviting you to make nominations for peers, clients and colleagues into the following categories:

• Legal Innovator of the year
• Legal Industry Pioneers (for legal service providers from any part of the industry)
• European in-house legal teams
• Special Achievement Award

This year, we are changing the way in which submissions should be made to the FT report. All submissions must be made via the online entry forms.

The deadline for submissions has been extended until 25 April 2012.
