Announcing the 2023 Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards Finalists and Lifetime Achievement Winners

The third annual Legalweek Leaders in Tech Law Awards honors individuals and organizations for their achievements in innovation in the past year in a wide array of categories across law firms, legal departments, and technology vendors.

After much consideration, the shortlist of finalists has been whittled down from an extensive list of worthy nominees. Our esteemed external judging panel will now spend the next couple weeks scrutinizing each entry to help us choose the best of the best in each category.

We are also announcing the winners of the Lifetime Achievement Awards in the Law Firm and Vendor categories.

The winners in all categories will be announced during an in-person awards ceremony on March 20, 2023, during the 2023 Legalweek conference in New York. For more information on attending the event, please visit our event page or contact our sales director Andre Sutton at [email protected].
