We were delighted to see Emma Wright and Polly Broad each win awards at last night’s Women & Diversity in Law Summit and Awards ceremony.

Emma, partner and Head of our Technology, Data and Digital group, was named Law Firm Leader of the Year (Small-to-Medium Sized Practice). This award was given to recognise an exceptional leader that sets and delivers on strategic goals while also ensuring their business operates ethically and with integrity and, in doing so, is an inspiration for future leaders. This further recognition for Emma follows her double award win at the Forward Ladies Leadership Summit and Awards, her Global Goals Impact Award at the CogX Awards and her continued listing in Computer Weekly’s Top 20 Most Influential Women in UK Tech 2023.

Polly, an associate who specialises in all aspects of private family law, won the Rising Star (Small-to-Medium Sized Practice) award. Polly won this award due to the exceptional start she has made to her legal career and by showing promise to being a future leader in her field.

These awards are given to recognise the exceptional individuals and teams making the UK legal profession more diverse and inclusive. The winners were announced on Wednesday 13 March at the ceremony which took place at The Brewery in London.
