ENTRIES HAVE NOW CLOSED

We are no longer accepting submissions for the People in Law Awards.

ENTRY RULES

Read this before you enter.

These awards aim to recognise exceptional work by HR teams in law firms across the UK and Ireland. Entering a category shouldn’t be difficult or time-consuming.

In general though, every entry should clearly state what you do (or did), and why it was exceptional or beneficial to your firm. If you’ve got any statistics that add weight to your case, it’s best to include them too.

The judges will give special consideration to effectiveness, originality, return on investment and best practice.

Who can enter?

Entries are accepted from law firms across the UK and Ireland.

Service providers may assist in compiling entries but cannot submit these on behalf of clients.

HOW TO ENTER

Entries can only be submitted online by using the official online entry system here. Select the relevant category and follow the on-screen instructions. You can preview the entry forms below.

To be eligible, work must have been carried out between February 2019 and February 2020.

JUDGING PROCESS
