The Lawyer has unveiled a stellar cast of judges for The Lawyer Awards, comprising some of the biggest names in City, commercial and academic life. Co-chairing the panel are Ian Gray, director at Candover and The Lawyer editor Catrin Griffiths.
Gray said: "The awards honour the elite of the legal profession and I'm delighted to be involved. The quality of the entries has been staggering."
Catrin Griffiths said: "The Lawyer Awards attracts more entries and media interest than any other ceremony in the profession. We're thrilled to have assembled such an extraordinary list of judges."
