We are thrilled to announce an exciting evolution in our awards process. In previous years, all listed nominees were recognized as winners. However, to elevate the prestige of this honor, we have introduced a finalist model for all the categories except Lifetime Achievement, GC of the Year and Managing Partner of the Year.
Our esteemed panel of judges has carefully reviewed all entries, selecting the very best as finalists. The winners will be revealed at the highly anticipated awards dinner on Oct. 7 , where we will celebrate excellence, innovation, and outstanding achievements. We look forward to recognizing those who have set new benchmarks in our industry and honoring the exceptional talent that drives us forward.
Best of luck to all finalists—we can’t wait to celebrate with you! Submissions deadline is June 17, 2025.
Please note: Each firm/company may submit multiple candidates. You may also submit a candidate for multiple categories, but a candidate can only win in one category. If you are submitting a candidate for multiple categories, please submit a separate submission for each category.
