LC.N Awards 2015 nominations announced

Today we are pleased to bring you details of the firms and individuals who are nominated for the 12th annual LawCareers.Net Training & Recruitment Awards.

Within the core awards for training and recruitment by firm (large and small, city and regional), we see nominations for multiple winners such as Burges Salmon, Farrer & Co, Kirkland & Ellis, Shoosmiths and Travers Smith, whose consistent excellence has been apparent over the years. In the Best Training Principal categories we see repeat nominations for Diane Parker - Atherton Godfrey, Lynn Knight – Shoosmiths, Ben Perry - Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, Letty Glaister - Tees Law and Suzanne Todd – Withers LLP. And it’s an exceptional year for Withers as the firm has three nominations in total.

The awards will be presented at a glamorous event at Gibson Hall in London on 21 May. We will be tweeting the results live on the night using #LCNAwards, so be sure to follow @LawCareersNetUK.
