FT Innovative Lawyers Awards

The FT Innovative Lawyers Report has become one of the top legal rankings in Europe and the accompanying awards are widely regarded as the best researched in the market. It presents a unique analysis of the legal industry and is the only ranking of lawyers by innovation. We base both the report and awards on thorough research and robust journalism.

The inaugural FT Innovative Lawyers Awards were held in 2007 at the Whitehall Banqueting rooms in London. In 2010, the fourth awards ceremony, held at the London Science Museum, saw more than 400 noteworthy professionals in the legal community, including many of the leading firms’ managing and senior partners, come together to recognise those who have achieved honours.

The main awards took place in the IMAX theatre and was opened with a film of some of the most innovative general counsel talking about what they wanted from the profession. Using the IMAX theatre rather than presenting the awards over a dinner allows us to showcase the thinking behind the innovations and to explore what constitutes innovation in legal services from the perspective of the many clients and lawyers interviewed in the research process.
