Law society launches search for top legal talent with 2027 awards

Birmingham Law Society has launched the 2027 Legal Awards, its annual search for the top talent within the region’s legal community.

The awards are taking place on Thursday 18 March 2027 at the ICC in Birmingham.

The event will be open exclusively to members of Birmingham Law Society – making it a special showcase of the excellence within the community.

Matt O’Brien, incoming president of the Birmingham Law Society said: “The Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards are always one of the highlights of our professional calendar – not only a vital celebration of the outstanding legal talent in our region, but also a fantastic opportunity for us to step out of the office, get our glad rags on, and come together to enjoy a memorable night.

“In another exciting change, shortlisted nominees will be awarded Birmingham Law Society’s Hallmark of Excellence – a mark of distinction that I know will carry real weight across our sector.

“I encourage all our members to put forward nominations, whether for themselves or their colleagues, and to be part of what promises to be a truly great celebration. Nominations are open until 6 October 2026.

“I very much look forward to celebrating with you all at the 24th Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards in 2027.”

The legal awards cover 14 categories and all nominations are judged by an experienced panel of independent judges, brought together from the world of law, business and academia.

Interviews will take place in mid-January with the awards taking place on Thursday 12th February.

We want to encourage our members and guests to join us at the ICC for this black-tie event.

We encourage engagement across social media using #2027LegalAwards to share photos and well wishes for nominees, shortlisted and winners.
