Each year we honor the best and brightest at The American Lawyer Industry Awards, our annual event celebrating the most impressive work being done across the legal industry and the lawyers making it happen.

In one of the busiest years the industry has ever seen, lawyers rose to the challenge to meet clients' demands, shepherding countless deals across the finish line and getting back into courtrooms to try critical cases. And so today we're opening up the nomination period for the Industry Awards, and inviting you and your firms and companies to tell us about the innovative work being done throughout the legal industry.
