Eligibility
Anyone can submit an entry, as long as they or the firm/company/team/individual they are entering meet the criteria for the relevant category. For the individual awards, only one entry per firm is allowed and joint entries will not be considered.
For team awards, the entries are required to focus on work on a single deal, dispute or matter that involved significant lawyering on both sides of the Atlantic. Multiple matters will not be considered and will result in those submissions being rejected. For both the team and lawyer awards the matter must be completed at the time of submission and the timescale covered by these awards is from March 2018.
Firms are welcome to submit matters where they worked alongside another law firm on the opposite side of the Atlantic. (For example, where a UK and US law firm combined to advise a single client on a transatlantic M&A deal.) In such instances, the submitting firm must clarify the roles of the various firm(s) involved. We will then consider the submission for a joint award.

However, if you do upload your entry, be sure to follow the same instructions as the online form and meet the required word limit for each section; uploaded files should either be a Microsoft Word document or a PDF, please do not submit videos or slides.

Advice on How to Put Together a Submission
Your entry should seek to ‘tell the story' of your achievements while also demonstrating how you have excelled against all the criteria. The weakest part of many entries last year was the failure to include clear evidence of achievement or explanation of why the achievement was significant or innovative. For the law firm and law firm manager awards, submissions should demonstrate strength on both sides of the Atlantic across a number of practice areas and that they made particular progress during the awards timescale.
Confidentiality
All the information contained in the entries that is marked confidential will remain so, and will not be released without the permission of the entrant. However, please do not submit entries that are entirely confidential. This is because winning entries are written up and published on legalweek.com and other ALM Media titles. This is one of the major benefits of winning an award.
Supporting Material
There is a strict limit of one piece of supporting material per entry. It is not obligatory to include supporting material: indeed it could count against you if the material is not pertinent to the entry. If you do include such material (which must be in digital form) please refer to it in your main submission.Transatlantic Law Firm of the Year
