Family Law Awards 2021 | LexisNexis Risk Solutions | Bloomsbury Big Top, 93 Guilford St, London WC1N 1DN, UK

The Family Law Awards brings the family law community together for its biggest night of the year, celebrating excellence, networking and recognising its vital contribution to society. The Family Law Awards were launched in 2011 to recognise the important work of family lawyers, and celebrate their many successes and outstanding achievements.

We have had to get used to a ‘new normal’ in the past two years, and many of us are still working remotely, juggling childcare and dealing with increased workloads, and often feeling isolated from our colleagues and associates that we used to see regularly. Thankfully, it looks like we are approaching the end of restrictions, so now, more than ever, it is important to engage with the family law community and ensure that the incredible work family law practitioners do is recognised and celebrated once our working lives have gone back to normal.
