The Lawyer’s European Awards is back this year to crown the crème de la crème of the European legal market.

We received a huge number of entries from firms across the Continent, seeking to pick up some of the most prestigious prizes in the profession.

The event will be held in-person at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London on Thursday 28 November.

Last year, it was Nordic firm Roschier’s turn to walk away with the honour of being named European Law Firm of the Year.

UBS general counsel Barbara Levi went home with the title of European General Counsel of the Year, while Abreu Advogados’ Inês Sequeira Mendes won European Managing Partner of the Year.

For more information on how to attend and book a table, please visit The Lawyer European Awards website.
