Rory BremnerMore than 500 lawyers gathered earlier this month for the second Legal Director Bluechip in-house legal awards. The first and only awards ceremony dedicated solely to lawyers working in business, Bluechip provided a unique insight into the lawyers most rated by their peers. In a nomination process that spanned six months, Legal Director sought extensive views of those working in-house and leaders in private practice to draw up the shortlist and ultimate winners in each category.

The top legal functions in the in-house world were represented at the Honourable Artillery Company Grounds on Tuesday 11 June in what was rated as one of the largest ever gatherings of the UK’s business lawyers.
