The 2025 Social Impact EMEA Awards remain open for submissions through Friday, July 25.
What’s new in 2025?
The latest awards guidelines, now available here, outline several new categories that reflect shifting priorities across the EMEA legal sector. These additions represent a more inclusive and forward-thinking vision of what social impact looks like in practice.
Key new categories include:
Ethical AI Initiative of the Year
Climate Justice Advocacy
Excellence in ESG Legal Services
Community Impact Award
Mental Health & Wellbeing Initiative
Multigenerational Advocacy Award
Why these changes matter?
Each new category aims to capture the evolving pressures and opportunities law firms face today - from advancing equity in legal systems, to helping clients align with ESG regulations, to investing in internal culture change.
As global markets increasingly hold institutions accountable for their societal impact, these awards look to honour those who respond to a rising demand for transparency, accountability, and sustainable progress.
