About the Family Law Awards
The Family Law Awards were launched to recognise the important work of family lawyers, and celebrate their many successes and outstanding achievements.
Once again we will welcome nominations in both national and regional categories. For further details see the
regional awards page.
The shortlist and winners will once again be chosen by a judging panel made up of the heads of the Family Law Bar Association, Resolution and the Association of Lawyers for Children, along with Family Law editors and publishing executives.
In keeping with tradition, three of this year’s Awards will be voted for by the family law community. A shortlist of four nominees will be selected by the judges from the nominations received and voting will open here in September.
Over the past 8 years, the Family Law Awards have firmly established themselves as a highly prestigious event, celebrating the success and achievements of family lawyers and the vital contribution that they make to society. Last year’s ceremony was attended by over 500 guests drawn from across the family law community, including solicitors’ practices, the Bar and the public sector.
Our judges
The judges have been carefully selected on the basis of their considerable experience and expertise in relation to their awards category and we are delighted that a number of leading figures from the family law profession and beyond have chosen to become involved with the Family Law Awards.

There has been so much change to the family justice system when funding for such far-reaching reform has been scarce and legal aid has almost disappeared. Despite all, family justice in this country continues to deliver a world-class service, primarily because of the dedication and commitment of talented and hardworking family lawyers often working pro bono or on reduced fees to ensure that families and children have access to justice”
