ABOUT THE AWARDS
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.
In a significant stride towards celebrating inclusivity, and recognising excellence in the legal industry, we are thrilled to introduce this inaugural initiative. These awards seek to celebrate the outstanding efforts of legal professionals who champion social impact and inclusion, while also providing a prestigious accreditation for those firms committed to creating more inclusive work environments - making them better positioned to meet the evolving needs of clients from across the industry.

THE JUDGING AND RESEARCH PROCESS
Once submissions have been received, our dedicated researchers and judges will review the written nominations and conduct interviews with leading firms and advocates from across the region.
The team will also incorporate other independent research findings and publicly available resources from across the industry, as well as relying on data voluntarily submitted to the Legal Benchmarking Group portfolio of brands.
