Birmingham Law Society announces return of annual awards

Birmingham Law Society has launched its 2025 Legal Awards - the annual search for the region’s top legal talent.

The awards take place at the ICC in Birmingham on Thursday 13 February.

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

Interviews with finalists will take place in mid-January.

Richard Port MBE, incoming President of the Birmingham Law Society, said: “As the incoming President, I am so honoured for its 23rd year running to be launching the Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards 2025.

“This is our chance to celebrate the excellence of our legal sector in Birmingham and the West Midlands, the outstanding law firms, excellent practitioners, driven students, essential volunteers and vital academics who play such an incredible role in ensuring that our community and our country’s justice system delivers now and in the future.

“In line with my theme of ‘voices’ and placing a spotlight on those who wouldn’t normally have a chance to shine or do not think their contributions make a difference, I encourage everyone to nominate for those who you think really are a diamond in our legal sector, nominate yourself and share your own accomplishments , to you it maybe a small feat but to us we want to hear it.

“This is the time for us to celebrate and be proud of what we do in Birmingham and the West Midlands and I couldn’t be prouder to help give a platform to do so.

“Nominations open today so don’t wait, get nominating.”
