The lifetime achievement award is presented to a lawyer who has excelled in their career and who has made a phenomenal contribution to our legal community.
The winner of this award is, most certainly, recognised as a leader in their field and as someone who has contributed to the profession in many ways.
The award recognises outstanding achievement, and representation of the profession. The winner of the award is selected by the President of Birmingham Law Society who will outline the reasons for selection of the candidate later this evening.
