As the legal industry anticipates upcoming accolades, Bloomberg Law has introduced the Unrivaled Litigators Award, aiming to honor those who have excelled in high-stakes jury and bench trials. The award opens nominations for top litigators from a variety of legal settings including law firms, government, corporations, universities, and non-profits. It’s a recognition of not just victories, but of impactful litigation that shifts industries or sets legal precedents.
The candidates eligible for this prestigious distinction must demonstrate significant accomplishments since January 3, 2023, by securing at least two successful resolutions via trials. This includes not only trial wins but favorable settlements that resolve client matters effectively. The nomination deadline is set for March 3, 2025, at 6 p.m. EST.
Applicants are required to submit a detailed narrative of up to 1,250 words highlighting trial strategies, outcomes, and their overall impact. Additionally, at least one client reference letter is mandatory, with an option to submit a second letter from various professional relationships. The package should also include essential contact details and can optionally be supplemented with relevant media coverage or reports up to three pages long.
Submissions should be formatted as Microsoft Word documents, with reference letters permissible in Word or PDF format. Further details and submission processes can be found here.
Bloomberg Law’s initiative reflects a broader range of recognitions it offers, encompassing rankings like “They’ve Got Next: The 40 Under 40” and analyses such as the “DEI Framework” and “League Tables,” further diversifying its platform’s reach and integration into the legal field.
