This year's Legal Week Awards is almost on us. The event is due to take place on Wednesday 29th November and will be held, as last year, at the Old Billingsgate Market, near Tower Bridge.
The prestigious event recognises the success of lawyers, in all guises, over the last year and includes awards for UK Firm of the Year, with shortlisted firms including Simmons and Simmons, Pinsent Mason, Beachcroft, Olswang, Osborne Clarke, Macfarlanes and Berwin Leighton and Paisner.

This year Carpe Diem Legal is proud to be sponsors of the category "Deal Lawyer of the Year" and nominees include M & A specialist, Mark Rawlinson, Partner at Freshfields, Managing Partner, Mike Francies at the city office of US firm Weil Gotshal & Manges, Corporate Finance Partner, Ian Bagshaw of Clifford Chance, Daniel Hall, Corporate Partner at Eversheds' Manchester office, Herbert Smith's Deputy Head of Corporate, Gareth Roberts and Robert Stern, Financing expert and pharmaceuticals specialist of Slaughter and May.
We will also be watching with interest who wins the category of General Counsel of the Year, as the strong contenders include Nick Deeming of the Linde Group (formerly the British Oxygen Company - BOC), Stephen Lowe from Dresdner Kleinwort and Deepak Malhotra who works in-house at Inbev.
Hosting the event will be Rob Brydon, critically acclaimed as a result of the award winning "Marion and Geoff" and co-star of Steve Coogan from "I'm Alan Partridge" fame.
CDL wishes all those nominated the very best of luck on the night and looks forward to meeting up with Paul Edwards and the Incisive Media team, who always do such a grand job of organising the evening of great food and entertainment.
