Leading firms across Europe were announced at a ceremony in London, which celebrated the winners in different categories across a wide range of jurisdictions and practice areas. Awarded firms are those that are highly commended by The Lawyer's elite judging panel (comprised of senior in-house counsel and private practice lawyers) for implementing bold initiatives ranging from internal innovation to international strategies.

During the ceremony, the panel of judges comprising leading GCs notably highlighted our "real commitment to diversity alongside a very successful financial year, with a client list that would be welcomed by any law firm, which has been added to during the year with further substantial household names". Our Firm was further described as a "profoundly impressive firm with a deep commitment to developing and pushing themselves on a professional level and with regards to ESG and D&I matters".

Schellenberg Wittmer thanks all its clients for their trust, loyalty and support and congratulates its entire team for their dedication, hard work and valuable contribution that makes us stand out as a leading and renowned firm.

The Lawyer European Awards was the first initiative of its kind to reward and celebrate excellence across the European legal market. The awards scheme attracts entries from over 120 independent law firms headquartered in Europe and global firms across the Continent.
