It is that time of year again! We are excited to again begin the process to honor in-house legal departments and legal department leaders in our Best Legal Departments issue.

In order to be considered, you have to first complete this survey, which you can find on our event site. It consists of several questions about your company and its law department and a brief (no more than 1,000 words) essay about why you should be considered.

The deadline for submissions is now June 24, 2024.

Our staff will select the honorees on the basis of these submissions, along with our own research.

Articles featuring the honorees will be featured in a special online report in the fall and celebrated at the prestigious American Lawyer Industry Awards at the end of the year.

Please feel free to reach out to Pearl Wu at [email protected] with any questions. ALM reserves the right to consider and award organizations, regardless of whether they have submitted nominations. We also reserve the right to take notice of external information that would impact the submission. For all categories, please include the appropriate contact information in case we require more information. You only need to fill out the survey for the category or categories in which you are submitting a nomination. An organization can only submit up to two entries per category. Good luck!
