The Legal 500 United Kingdom Awards 2014 is a brand new concept in recognizing and rewarding the best in-house and private practice teams and individuals over the past 12 months. There are no submissions, or black tie dinners that cost thousands of pounds to attend – the awards are handed to the elite legal practitioners, based on the most comprehensive research into the UK legal market. Over 50,000 interviews have been conducted to ascertain the winners, who are invited to a free networking dinner in London to celebrate with their peers. Only winners are invited.
