LMG Life Sciences EMEA Awards 2024 Shortlist Announced 1200x627@4x.png

The LMG Life Sciences Awards is thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2024 EMEA Awards.

The LMG Life Sciences Awards has released the full list of finalists for the 2024 Europe, Middle East, and Africa Awards. These awards bring together the region’s legal community to recognise the leading law firms and attorneys to celebrate the successes in the Life Sciences industry.

The winners will be announced at a black-tie gala celebration on 16 May 2024 at the Waldorf Hilton in London.

The LMG Life Sciences Awards research team carefully selected each finalist after a thorough research period which included an analysis of direct submissions, client feedback, and heavy deliberation. Individual practitioners and Rising Stars are judged not only on the complexity of their work but also on their thought leadership.

All the work accepted to be shortlisted closed during the research period, 1 January to 31 December 2023. The awards do not recognise cases, deal, or other matters completed outside of the research period.

If you have any questions regarding our research process, please contact our editor, John Harrison.

The LMG Life Sciences Awards will be announcing winners on 16 May 2024 at a live awards gala. To find out more about the gala and how you can promote your success, please contact George Reeves.
