The AWS recognises that there are many outstanding women solicitors providing legal services. Some will be junior solicitors at the beginning of their legal career, others will be more senior. Some may work in-house in companies or government or work in private practice. What binds all these women solicitors together is that they exhibit phenomenal talent and reveal best practice in their chosen areas of practice.
The AWS wants to recognise and reward women who are or will be the role models for future women solicitors. By celebrating the success of such women solicitors the AWS wants to send out a message to the wider business community that women solicitors are successful business women managing their legal practices. Find out more about the awards.
Nominations must be received before 5pm on 29 July 2009

The Association of Women Solicitors (AWS) is a recognised group of the Law Society.
Membership is open to any woman solicitor or trainee who is a Law Society member or associate member.
Membership is not automatic upon qualification as a solicitor, but more than one third of all women solicitors already belong to the AWS. This is your invitation to join us.
If costs you nothing to join and you can apply on-line. More information and application form.
