This is your chance to participate in a truly memorable awards ceremony, hosted by an inspirational celebrity and DE&I campaigner, when we will celebrate the achievements of the people helping to make the UK legal sector more diverse and inclusive. To cast our net as widely as possible, we are encouraging individuals and teams to nominate themselves and others across the range of categories.  Making a nomination could not be easier. The awards are divided into three sections. In the first half, Outstanding Women Leaders and Outstanding Women Practitioners will be recognised. The second section addresses diversity more broadly, seeking to highlight the stand-out initiatives, businesses, not-for-profits and individuals across its different strands.   The deadline for nominations is Thursday 12 September; nominees will then be invited to submit entries, for consideration by a judging panel made up of recognised experts, campaigners and leaders.  The judges include Deputy High Court Judge and former Linklaters partner Alexandra Marks, Sophie Breuil, head of diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging at CMS, Lesley Wan, general counsel & whistleblowing officer, All Africa Capital, and Herbert Smith Freehills’ CEO Jason D’Agostino.
