We have been shortlisted for the Business Development Award at the LexisNexis Legal Awards 2026.

The LexisNexis Legal Awards highlight excellence, innovation and impact across the legal profession, recognising organisations and individuals who are making a positive contribution to the industry. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony which takes place at the Park Plaza London Riverbank on Thursday 16 April.

Our shortlisting is linked to our Client Sight framework, which informs our approach to business development and client engagement. The framework is designed to view the firm from our clients’ perspectives, helping us to better understand their needs, what they value, and how we can provide solutions that meet and exceed their expectations.

In a sector where strategies are often shaped by internal structures, Client Sight takes an ‘outside-in’ approach, enabling us to respond more effectively to the needs of a diverse client base. This includes globally recognised brands, large corporates, entrepreneurs, startups, high net worth individuals, and prominent talent.

We are delighted that our efforts to take a client-first approach have been recognised in this way, and we look forward to attending the awards ceremony alongside other firms and individuals who are driving innovation across the legal profession.
