Celebrate Legal Innovation
The Financial Times and RSGI were delighted to host the Innovative Lawyers Awards Asia in May in Singapore.
After the success of our soft relaunch in 2022, the Innovative Lawyers awards were back in all their splendour for 2023. Attendees joined us for a cocktail reception, gala dinner, and awards ceremony to celebrate the leading innovators of 2022 and 2023.
Joined by law firms and clients, in-house legal teams and legal service providers alike, attendees found out how lawyers are innovating to help businesses move faster, respond in crisis and operate more sustainably for the long-term.
The Awards provide a critical touch point for the industry every year, and this is especially true in 2023 after a long time apart. Attendees experienced the buzz of a live event again, networked with lawyers and business people across the region, and celebrated success with their peers - not just for the award winners, but for everyone who is passionate about driving innovation in the legal sector to bring good to business and society.
