IFLR's awards focus on legal innovation, with a particular eye on innovation in cross-border transactions. Achievements in this field underpin the deal, team and firm of the year awards.

In recognising innovation, IFLR strives to celebrate work that improves the cross-border investment environment. IFLR will also be celebrating the market's rising stars, market-leading practitioners, and in-house lawyers and teams, as well as offering awards for innovation in legal technology, ESG, and financial regulation.

In all cases, IFLR considers the sophistication and complexity of the work and the impact of the legal innovation, as well as contextual challenges in execution. Size, volume, and media coverage play no role in decision making.

Launching in 2024, the Legal Benchmarking Group Social Impact Awards will present regional winners in EMEA, Canada, United States, and Latin America, celebrating the most ground-breaking social impact and inclusion achievements across the leading law firms and practitioners.
