The Legal Technology Awards 2026 has today revealed the finalists shortlisted across this year's award categories, recognising the law firms, barristers' chambers, in-house legal teams, alternative legal service providers, suppliers, projects, and individuals driving innovation throughout the legal sector.

Returning for another year of celebrating excellence in legal innovation, digital transformation, cybersecurity, leadership, and emerging technologies, the Legal Technology Awards continues to shine a spotlight on the organisations and professionals shaping the future of legal services.

The winners will be announced at a prestigious black-tie awards ceremony hosted by internationally acclaimed stand-up comedian, Lou Sanders, taking place on Wednesday 18th November 2026 at City Central at the HAC, London, where hundreds of legal and technology leaders will come together to celebrate the sector's achievements.

This year's finalists were selected by an independent judging panel comprising senior technology leaders, legal professionals, innovators, and industry experts. The new Chair of the Judging Panel is Sheila Flavell CBE, President of techUK. The shortlist reflects the breadth of innovation taking place across the legal ecosystem, from pioneering AI initiatives and transformative technology projects to exceptional leadership and collaborative partnerships.

Sheila Flavell CBE commented “I was delighted to be invited to Chair the Legal Technology Awards judging panel and was keen to be involved as the Awards shine a spotlight on the incredible innovation transforming the legal sector. It’s a great opportunity to see first-hand the ideas and people that are moving the industry forward at pace”.

We were delighted to see submissions from across the UK and more entries from international legal markets, making this one of the most competitive and globally representative awards programmes to date. Congratulations to all our finalists on this well-deserved recognition.”
