British Legal Awards 2026: Harbottle named as a finalist in two categories

We have been shortlisted for UK Law Firm of the Year (Mid-Sized Firm) and Best Business Support Team at this year’s British Legal Awards.

Now in their 17th year, the British Legal Awards celebrate outstanding achievements across the legal industry, recognising firms for their involvement in, among other things, landmark deals, innovative strategies, impactful advocacy, and exceptional client service.

The UK Law Firm of the Year category celebrates law firms who are leaders in their chosen fields, demonstrating significant progress over the past 12 months. For Harbottle & Lewis, our most recent financial year marked an important milestone in our long-term growth story. We continue to make significant progress with our disciplined, client-led strategy, embedding innovation in everything we do, investing strategically in our people and maintaining unwavering commitment to client service.

The Best Business Support Team category recognises business services teams that have made a tangible impact on their firms’ performance, from improving operational efficiency to contributing directly to delivering excellent client service. Our business services function plays a central role in helping to shape the firm’s strategy and and drive its success. Using our Client Sight framework, we ensure that every aspect of our business, from recruitment and people strategy to innovation, business development and marketing, is designed with client experience in mind. This integrated approach pushes us outside the more restrictive lines of a traditional law firm, setting us apart and enabling us to deliver enduring value to our clients.

The awards ceremony will take place on Wednesday 25 November, at City Central at the HAC in London.
