Some legal work belongs in more than one conversation.
A rising lawyer can be making waves we should be celebrating. They may also be quietly rewiring how their legal team uses technology.
The LexisNexis® 40 UNDER 40 and ELITE Awards recognise those different parts of the same story.
For the first time, an ELITE Award entry may be added to any 40 UNDER 40 entry for an additional US$50, giving you a way to put forward the full breadth of an individual’s or team’s work.
Nominations for the LexisNexis® 40 UNDER 40 and ELITE Awards 2026 close on Tuesday, 11 August 2026, 6:00 pm (GMT+8).
