We at LPM want to create a way to recognise excellence on the management side of legal business. So, we’ve decided to launch an annual award for ‘practice excellence’ that will cover several categories (two now, more in future) of achievement and/or best practice in legal business management. We want to celebrate team achievements, and the success of initiatives and programmes not necessarily individuals. We also want to make sure that our core audience of legal business management leaders – eg practice directors/managers, FDs etc – are involved in every entry.
Any legal services provider can enter the LPM Practice Excellence Awards. These don’t have to be ‘traditional’ law firms, but entries do need to fit a few core criteria: Businesses entering have to be delivering legal services to the consumer market or to corporate/business market (Unfortunately, in-house teams or legal departments of other businesses, such as accountants, cannot enter this year).
