This category is open to any UK firms that appear in the current edition of The Lawyer UK 200: the Independents report, which ranks the largest firms in the UK 200 from numbers 101 to 200 by revenue. The award is also open to UK firms that may not have appeared in this year’s ranking but qualify on the basis of turnover (from £8m to £24m). Firms that may have appeared in the report previously and dropped out are also welcome to apply. The Awards are judging performance from January 2023 to the present day.
