The LMG Life Sciences Americas Awards is thrilled to present the shortlist for 2024

The LMG Life Sciences Americas Awards has released the full list of finalists for 2024. These awards bring together the region’s legal community to recognise the leading law firms and attorneys to celebrate the successes in the life sciences industry.

The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala celebration on September 5 2024 at the 583 Park Ave in Manhattan.



The LMG Life Sciences Awards research team carefully selected each finalist after a thorough research period which included an analysis of direct submissions, client feedback, and heavy deliberation. Individual practitioners and Rising Stars are judged not only on the complexity of their work but also on their thought leadership.

All the work accepted to be shortlisted closed during the research period, June 1 2023 to May 31 2024. The awards do not recognise cases, deals, or other matters completed outside of the research period.

If you have any questions regarding our research process, please contact Jose Martinez.

The LMG Life Sciences Awards will be announcing winners on September 5 2024 at a live awards gala. To find out more about the gala and how you can promote your success, please contact George Reeves.

Now without further ado…
