About this award

APAC Insider is happy to announce the return of the APAC Legal Awards. Now in its ninth year, this prestigious awards programme celebrates pioneering achievements and exceptional contributions to the Legal Industry.

Despite facing unprecedented challenges in recent years, the Legal Industry has showcased remarkable resilience and has begun to bounce back from adversities. Whether navigating through economic downturns, global crises, or disruptive technological advancements, legal firms have demonstrated agility and adaptability in responding to evolving market dynamics.

The APAC Legal Industry is witnessing unprecedented growth and competition as startups and mid-level firms emerge as formidable competitors to established players. In this dynamic environment, it is essential for legal firms to stand out with confidence and demonstrate their continued successes and best practices to maintain their competitive edge and sustain growth.

The Legal Industry has undergone a significant transformation with the adoption of technology, ushering in a new era of legal practice. However, while the integration of technology into the legal domain has brought about several benefits, it also presents several challenges. One of the primary concerns is the potential for inherent bias and a lack of empathy. Despite these concerns, LegalTech remains a crucial development for the industry.

While technology presents challenges such as the risk of dehumanising legal practices, its benefits cannot be overstated: it is revolutionising the industry. It plays a vital role in promoting social justice, facilitating pro bono work, and enhancing the efficiency of legal services. Legal practitioners can harness its transformative potential to advance the cause of justice and empower underrepresented communities by embracing technology responsibly and ethically.

As the Legal Industry undergoes profound transformation driven by technological advancements, globalisation, and changing client expectations, the imperative for legal practitioners is clear: embrace innovation or risk becoming obsolete. Legal firms that embrace change, cultivate a culture of innovation, and invest in talent and technology will not only survive but thrive in the evolving legal marketplace. The legal landscape is on the precipice of great change.

Participating in the APAC Legal Awards 2024 provides a unique opportunity for your organisation to showcase its achievements, successes, and best practices on a global platform. Regardless of whether you operate within corporate law, family law, commercial law, or any other legal field, these awards serve as an ideal platform to exhibit your accomplishments. The APAC Legal Awards 2024 offer unparalleled exposure, authenticity, and networking opportunities for all participants.

The APAC Legal Awards 2024 accepts nominations from individuals and third parties. Our experienced professionals evaluate all nominees based on their quality and achievements, without bias towards their company size or location. The selection process is fair and impartial, ensuring that all candidates are objectively evaluated based on merit. If you know of a company worthy of recognition for its successes, please feel free to submit a nomination.

We wish all the nominees the best of luck!

Frequently asked questions

How long has APAC Insider been in circulation for?

APAC Insider has been in circulation since 2015 and has been building up an impressive reputation for its excellent look into the sectors it covers. The publication aims to serve the vast Asia-Pacific region, which is home to more than one third of the world’s biggest businesses including the likes of Toyota, Sony and Bank of China. APAC Insider is published by AI Global Media, a UK based publishing group launched in 2010.

Where did my nomination come from?

A company or individual can be nominated in various ways, including self-nomination, nominated by a third-party, or nomination by our in-house research team. In the interest of maintaining high response rates, we do not ask nominees to reveal their identity. The main ethos of our awards system is that your ability to succeed is not linked to the number of votes received, with the most pertinent belief behind this being that all awards will be received on merit. As a means of identifying spam votes and countering cyber-threats, we monitor the website for unusual behaviour.

What happens if I agree to be considered further?

As we look to keep maximum focus on relevant candidates, we ask all nominees to accept their position on the shortlist. This gives individuals complete control in their decision on whether they would like to move forward with the award. There is no cost for you to be added onto the shortlist or if you go on to win. Nominees who accept will then proceed to our internal vetting procedure. Nominees are given an opportunity to present their own data which gets considered alongside the information collated by our research team. Please note it can take up to 8 weeks for research to be completed.

Who selects the winners?

We employ an impartial panel of individuals to conduct all the research to a high standard, and our research team are well versed in fact-checking and mediation. At the helm we have a veteran academic leader with international academic and training experience. Our continued use of this panel plays a key part in enforcing APAC Insider’s stance that winners are not determined by popularity, but by their contributions to the sector.

Is there a winner’s ceremony?

While we appreciate everyone will want to celebrate their success, this can look different to all winners. Many of the awards are also open across various regions within the Asian Pacific, and therefore many separate events would need to be arranged. Alongside this thought, we believe in keeping a cost-effective marketing philosophy, and do not wish to add further expense to any business or individual. Our press announcements are made digitally, online and across our network to enforce our position as digital publishers. We aim to provide you with the tools (both digital and physical) to generate real-world value.

If I do win, what happens next?

There is a short press embargo in place where we ask winners to refrain from any public announcements, giving us the chance to prepare the different means of coverage we offer. During this period the program manager will liaise with you to agree on the most appropriate coverage for you. Our main feature takes the form of a digital magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, wall mounted plaques, digital certificates, web-based advertisements, and press releases. The range of options are aimed to make the awards tailor-made to each individual firm, regardless of budget.

Are there any costs involved?

All awards are at no cost to be nominated or to win. We do offer a variety of paid additional benefits for our winners, and these are entirely optional and merely supplementary to your award rather than essential. To demonstrate our commitment to no mandatory fees, all winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain: regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to garner the full value of the award.

I have another question that isn’t listed here.

If you have any questions or wish to discuss the award in more depth, please connect with a dedicated awards coordinator using the contact details provided. They will be able to assist further and guide you through the process.
