The Client Choice Awards honour lawyers globally, across 68 jurisdictions, who add real value to their clients’ businesses, going beyond what other players in the market offer.

Nominations for the Client Choice Awards can only be made by in-house counsel, and winners are selected following in-depth research, with criteria including quality of legal advice, commercial awareness, industry knowledge, strategic thinking, value for money, responsiveness, effective communication, clarity of documentation, loyalty and ethics.
