It is that time of year again! We are excited to begin the process of honoring in-house legal departments and legal department leaders in our Best Legal Departments issue.
To be considered, you have to first complete this survey, which you can find on our event site. It consists of several questions about your company and its law department and a brief (no more than 1,000 words) essay about why you should be considered.
Our staff will select the honorees based on these submissions along with our own research.
Articles featuring the honorees will be featured in a special online report in the fall on Law.com. Finalists will be announced in late summer, and the winner will be announced and celebrated at the prestigious American Lawyer Industry Awards in November.
Below, please find the categories and link to our awards site category descriptions. Please feel free to reach out to Pearl Wu at [email protected] with any questions. ALM reserves the right to consider and award organizations, regardless of whether they have submitted nominations. We also reserve the right to take notice of external information that would impact the submission.
For all categories, please include the appropriate contact information in case we require more information. An organization can only submit up to two entries per category. Good luck!
