The Belgian Legal Awards honours excellence, continuity and innovation in the legal sphere

In most industries and sectors, committed companies and individuals are rewarded. This acknowledgement of talent should not be reserved to the film or the music industry. Practicing law is an art. This Art should be recognized, as it is now the case in many countries.

Brussels is one of the world’s main legal capitals if not THE world’s legal capital. Everyone is in Brussels ! The Capital of Europe now has the event it deserves for the legal industry.

With a potential of 600 participants, the event attracts the ones who count in the legal sector.

There are various factors which make this event such a success.

1. The quality of our official partners and especially the patronage provided for the European chapter by the President of the European Commission, Mr Barroso.

2. The good work provided by our numerous media partners at both local and international levels ;

3. Our sponsors who truly are committed to offering the most adequate and up to date products and services to the legal industry.

4. The jury of the Legal Awards which is undoubtedly the most prestigious jury ever gathered in this country. Our judges provide this event with great legitimacy.

5. Last but not least, the lawyers and in-house counsels who have done a tremendous job in compiling memos for the jury with professionalism. The Awards are undoubtedly an important recognition of achievement for lawyers. The quantity and quality of entries received each year indicates that the accolades are valued highly by the industry.

Brussels: THE world's legal capital

In London or in New York City, there are similar respectable ceremonies that grant prizes but they have another flavour as the Legal Awards. Because in Brussels, firms are playing at home. In front of their public, their audience, their clients, their colleagues, their bosses.

The acknowledgement is even greater as we stick very closely to the new trends in the market and that we, before anyone else, can spot the new “kids on the block”, see how the “old guys” are doing in their traditional areas of practice or in new areas in which they are developing. We are the first witnesses of change, innovation and continuity. But, as said, this acknowledgement is not only local. Brussels' international resonance results in a greater exposure for the participants.

The event gathers together the biggest names from the legal world and it provides a unique networking opportunity.


We hope to see you on 15th march 2012.
