Legal Excellence Awards

Family Law Team of the Year Award

Expert help at the hardest moments.

About this category

This award recognises a family law team whose expertise and care help clients through divorce, children matters, finances and other family issues. Judges look for outcomes, sensitivity and the use of approaches that reduce conflict.

Eligibility

Open to family law teams in firms and chambers.

Judging criteria

  • Outcomes
  • Client care
  • Use of mediation and non court resolution
  • Expertise
  • Efficiency

Qualitative criteria

  • Compassion alongside clear
  • Realistic advice

Metrics

  • Matters resolved
  • Use of non court routes
  • Client feedback and referrals

Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client or colleague evidence. Client identities, privileged material and commercially sensitive details must not be disclosed: describe matters in anonymised terms, and give figures as percentages or ranges where needed. Nothing in an entry is shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the firm, chambers or team, so smaller practices compete on equal terms.
