Benchmark Litigation's awards focus on leading dispute resolution practices, with a particular eye on significant and innovative litigation matters. Achievements in this field underpin the case, litigator, and firm of the year awards.

In recognizing litigation excellence, Benchmark Litigation strives to celebrate work that pushes boundaries, has wide social impacts, and assists in shaping jurisprudence. Benchmark Litigation celebrates the leading litigation law firms and individual lawyers. We also recognize the market's rising stars, top litigators, and in-house lawyers and teams, offering awards that highlight exceptional advocacy across the following regions:

• United States
• Canada
• Europe
• Asia-Pacific
• China

In all cases, Benchmark Litigation considers the complexity and impact of cases, as well as the contribution firms make to the development of the law. Size or value play no role in decision making.

In association with our sister publications - IFLR, ITR, Managing IP, Benchmark Litigation - the Women in Business Law Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the legal sector from today's leading women lawyers.

Categories are designed to recognise the growing talent pool of women in law in the 'Rising Stars' category, celebrate the best of best in the 'Best in Practice' awards and laud firm progression in diversity and inclusion through the best D&I categories.
