Enter the Manchester Legal Awards
Entries are now closed for the 2026 Manchester Legal Awards!
A huge thank you to everyone who submitted their entries across our 22 categories – the standard of talent in the North West’s legal community never fails to impress. For those who missed out, don’t worry – we’ll be back next year.
In the meantime, the shortlist will be announced on Tuesday 5th May and all shortlisted nominees will be interviewed by a panel of judges on Friday 12th June.
The awards culminate in a black-tie ceremony on Thursday 2nd July at the iconic Kimpton Clocktower Hotel in Manchester – a night of recognition, networking, and celebration.
Judging process
A panel of judges made up of professionals and business leaders will assess all entries against four criteria and award up to 10 marks for each. There is one exception to this, the Lifetime Achievement Award (see below).
We look forward to welcoming you at the glittering ceremony on Thursday 2nd July!
