FT Innovative Lawyers Report
FT Innovative Lawyers is a unique programme that assesses lawyers on their innovation for clients and in their own businesses. According to the FT, competition for this year’s awards was ‘tougher than ever’ with a 25% increase in entries, with only the very top entries being shortlisted.
Roberts Jackson has been shortlisted amongst long-established peers such as DLA Piper, DWF, Herbert Smith Freehills and Linklaters.
Since it was established in 2006, the FT report has “sought to break with the usual criteria of measuring lawyers by revenues, profits or deal sizes. Instead, it aims to uncover the real value that lawyers deliver to business and reward the lawyers consistently furthering the interests of their clients, their own firms and the profession itself.”
The award ceremony will take place at the Natural History Museum on 4 October 2017.
