MLI 2026 AWARD WINNERS
Entries Are Now Open for MLI 2027 Awards Programme, Celebrating Outstanding Achievement Across the Global Media Law Community
MLI 2027 Awards Programme
The Media Law International (MLI) Awards recognise excellence, leadership and outstanding achievement across the global media law sector. The Law Firm of the Year category celebrates firms that have demonstrated outstanding achievement over the past year, not only through the quality of their legal work, but through their leadership in managing complex, often precedent-setting matters across the range of media-related matters.
The MLI 2027 Awards Programme is now open for submissions. We invite law firms from across our covered jurisdictions to submit entries highlighting their achievements, expertise and contribution to the development of media law over the past year.
The submission deadline is 15 January 2027. Download the submission here. For further details regarding eligibility criteria and the application process, please send enquires to contact@medialawinternational.com.
What happens after you submit your entry?
Following the submission deadline, Media Law International will review the entries received for the MLI 2027 Awards Programme. Each submission will be considered on the basis of the information and supporting evidence provided, with a focus on the quality of the firm's work, its achievements over the past year, the complexity and significance of matters handled, and its contribution to the media law sector.
The selection process is designed to recognise firms that have demonstrated outstanding legal expertise, leadership and achievement within their respective markets. Particular consideration will be given to the strength of the work undertaken, the impact of the matters handled and the firm's wider contribution to the development of media law.
Firms selected for the shortlist will be contacted directly by Media Law International following the review process. Being shortlisted represents recognition of a firm's achievements and standing within its jurisdiction and the wider international media law community.
Winning firms will be announced on 29 April 2027 in London, in conjunction with MLI’s Seventh Annual Global Conference (AGC7). The event will bring together members of the international media law community to celebrate the firms and practitioners whose work is helping to shape the sector, recognising excellence and achievement across our 60 covered jurisdictions.
