Level shortlisted for Team of the Year: Litigation at The Lawyer Awards 2026
The Lawyer Awards are widely regarded as one of the most prestigious events in the UK legal calendar, recognising excellence across private practice, the Bar and in-house teams. With over 400 entries submitted this year, the shortlist represents a highly competitive field, making this recognition a significant moment for our disputes team.
Over the past 12 months, Level’s litigation practice has continued to build momentum, advising on a range of complex, high-profile matters across the sport, media, entertainment and technology sectors. The team’s work reflects the strength of our specialist, partner-led model, combining deep sector expertise with a collaborative approach that allows us to respond quickly and effectively to the needs of our clients.
At the heart of this is a group of senior lawyers who are deeply embedded in the industries they advise, bringing not only legal expertise but also a strong understanding of the commercial and reputational pressures our clients face. This has enabled the team to act on some of the most significant and sensitive disputes in the market, often where the stakes extend beyond the legal issues to broader strategic and reputational considerations.
The shortlist also reflects the continued growth of the firm's disputes capability, with investment in complementary areas such as regulatory, reputation management and complex commercial litigation strengthening the breadth of support we can offer clients. Collaboration across the wider firm particularly with our sport, media and technology specialists, ensures that clients benefit from a seamless, multidisciplinary service.
We are proud to see the team’s work recognised in this way and extend our congratulations to all those shortlisted in this category.
The winners will be announced at The Lawyer Awards ceremony on 16 June 2026 at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
