Birmingham Law Society has launched it’s 2027 Legal Awards, its annual search for the top talent within the region’s legal community.
Guy Barnett, incoming President of the Birmingham Law Society said about the launch “The year 2027 marks a very special milestone for Birmingham Law Society as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards.
For a quarter of a century, the Legal Awards have celebrated the outstanding individuals, teams and organisations that make Birmingham’s legal community one of the most respected, diverse and dynamic in the country.
On Thursday 18 March 2027, we will come together once again – but this time to celebrate not only the achievements of the past year, but 25 years of legal excellence.
As incoming President of Birmingham Law Society, I want our 25th anniversary Awards to be a genuine celebration of our profession: its people, its achievements, its values and its future.
Excellence takes many forms. It can be found in exceptional legal ability and client service; in leadership and innovation; in those who develop and inspire the next generation; in people who make an extraordinary contribution to their colleagues and communities; and in the rising stars who will shape the profession for decades to come.
I am therefore delighted to announce the categories for the 25th Anniversary Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards.
These Awards are about our members and our legal community, and I want us to uncover and celebrate the people whose achievements deserve recognition – including those who might never think of putting themselves forward.
So look around your firm, chambers, organisation and professional network. Who has excelled? Who has made a difference? Who has gone that extra mile? Who represents the very best of Birmingham’s legal profession?
Nominate them. Champion them. Tell us their story.
And on 18 March, we will do something particularly special: bring our legal community together to celebrate 25 years of achievement while looking forward to the next 25.
I want this milestone year to recognise our history, celebrate the exceptional talent we have today and inspire the generations who will follow us.
I very much look forward to receiving your nominations and welcoming you to what promises to be a truly memorable 25th Anniversary Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards.”
The legal awards cover 14 award categories and all nominations are judged by an experienced panel of independent judges, brought together from the world of law, business and academia. Interviews will take place at the beginning of February with the awards taking place on Thursday 18th March.
We want to encourage our members and guests to join us at the ICC for this black-tie event. We encourage engagement across social media using #2027LegalAwards to share photos and well wishes for nominees, shortlisted and winners.
