CMS, Latham & Watkins and DLA Piper were among the law firms winning top awards at the British Legal Awards last night (29 November), after an evening celebrating outstanding performances by law firms, legal teams and individuals during the past year.
CMS saw off strong competition from a line-up of nominees including Clifford Chance and Eversheds Sutherland to secure the Law Firm of the Year award. The win comes 18 months after the CMS, Nabarro and Olswang merger, which created a combined firm of nearly 2,500 lawyers in the UK and more than 4,500 around the world.
Another big winner on the night was US firm Latham & Watkins, which walked away with two awards – International Law Firm of the Year and Private Equity Team of the Year.
