The shortlist for the annual LexisNexis Family Law Awards is out—and your vote is required.

Each year, the family law community gets to choose the winner in two categories—Family Law Commentator of the Year and Family Law Clerking Team of the Year. Please cast your vote here by midday on 14 October.

The full shortlist can be viewed here. There are more than 20 categories including Case, Children Law Team, Community Interaction and International Family Lawyer of the Year.

The Family Law Awards brings the family law community together for its biggest night of the year, celebrating excellence, networking and recognising its vital contribution to society. Last year, the prestigious event was attended by 700 guests.

This year’s awards will be held on 28 November at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London.
