The search is on to find the UK’s best paralegals as entries open for this year’s National Paralegal Awards.
Hosted by the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives (CILEX), the awards are now in their sixth year with 15 awards up for grabs − including National Paralegal of the Year, Community Champion of the Year and National Paralegal Business of the Year.
Entries will close on 17 June and the finalists will be announced on 15 June 2024.
CILEX CEO Craig Hamer said: “Paralegals up and down the country are playing a vital role in legal services across a diverse range of specialisms and sectors. This is a great opportunity to shine a light on their dedication and professionalism as well as championing the organisations that support paralegals to develop and thrive in their careers.
“We are delighted to be hosting the awards which are a real celebration of talent, excellence and innovation across the profession. We look forward to honouring the outstanding contributions and accomplishments of paralegals who are doing invaluable work.”
The awards are open to individuals and businesses, and welcome entries from all professionals within the paralegal sector, regardless of registration with the Professional Paralegal Register or membership in an organisation. Self-nominations are also welcome.
