ABOUT THE AWARDS

IFLR's Middle East 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.

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.

THE JUDGING AND RESEARCH PROCESS

IFLR conducts detailed research using a variety of sources, including direct entries and interviews with private practice lawyers, in-house counsel and corporate finance professionals. Written entries of deals, teams, firms and individuals are a vital part of the process, and are the best way to highlight your work.

Final decisions are made by an internal IFLR panel, and are entirely independent.
