Awards programmes

Building on our extensive network and legal market expertise, ILO has developed a series of awards programmes to encourage excellence and promote change in the profession.

Global Counsel Awards

In association with the Association of Corporate Counsel, the Global Counsel Awards recognise those in-house legal teams and individuals that excel in their specific roles. The primary aim is to reward lawyers for demonstrable achievements across the full spectrum of in-house responsibility, and not simply those who have acted on high-profile transactions. To learn more, please visit the Global Counsel Awards website.

Client Choice

Client Choice recognises those law firms and partners around the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service. Uniquely, law firms and partners can only be nominated by corporate counsel. To learn more, please visit the Client Choice website.

Networking

In addition to market-leading content, ILO provides numerous opportunities for corporate counsel and law firm partners to build relationships face to face.

Corporate Counsel Congress

The annual Corporate Counsel Congress encourages the sharing of expertise and experience across borders, allowing attendees to exchange knowledge and insight with high-profile speakers including general counsel at multinationals and regulators. This annual meeting takes place in New York each June.

Global Counsel Awards dinners

The Global Counsel Awards programme identifies in-house corporate counsel, both teams and individuals, who excel in their specific roles. The programmes culminate each year in four of the largest annual gatherings of senior corporate counsel, with prestigious ceremonies in Hong Kong, Latin America, London and New York.

Client Choice networking dinner

Client Choice hosts an annual gala dinner in London to announce the winners and facilitate networking. This prestigious event, open to all Client Choice recognised partners, affords the perfect opportunity to celebrate these achievements and meet with other lawyers from around the world who lead the way in client service.
