The 2022 LexisNexis Legal Awards are now open for entries, with the winners to be announced at a ceremony at London’s Grosvenor Hotel in March

The Awards celebrate the achievements and talents of outstanding individuals and teams across the legal sector, whether in-house counsel, the Bar, legal practice, academia or journalism, and for sustainability, diversity and inclusion, innovation and wellbeing on top of legal services.

Last year, The Divorce Surgery, which encourages separating couples to focus on joint solutions, scooped the Award for Legal Services Innovation. The Award for Wellbeing went to Family Law in Partnership, which gives its staff access to a psychotherapist to discuss their own individual concerns as well as the emotional impact of family breakdown on clients.
