Now in their 13th year, the LEAP Irish Law Awards continue to shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements and dedication of Ireland’s legal professionals.

This year’s finalists represent the very best in the industry, having demonstrated exceptional skill, innovation, and commitment across a wide range of categories-from ADR, banking and finance, and civil litigation to family law, diversity and inclusion, and innovation.

With a record number of entries received, the calibre of this year’s shortlist is a testament to the dynamism and resilience of the Irish legal community.

These finalists have not only excelled in their respective fields but have also contributed significantly to the advancement and reputation of the legal profession in Ireland.

Event organiser Jill Thornton said: “This year’s record number of entries is a true reflection of the talent, passion, and progress within Ireland’s legal sector. Our finalists set the standard for excellence and inspire the entire profession.”

The winners will be announced at a prestigious black-tie gala dinner on Friday 6 June 2025 at the Clayton Hotel, Burlington Road, Dublin, hosted by Anton Savage.

The evening will begin with a prosecco drinks reception at 6:00pm, followed by a three-course meal, live music, and the highly anticipated awards ceremony starting at 7:30pm.

Guests will also enjoy raffle competitions throughout the night in support of The Calcutta Run – the Legal Fundraiser, this year’s charity partner.

The event promises an atmosphere of celebration and camaraderie, honouring the remarkable achievements of the finalists and recognising their vital role in shaping the future of law in Ireland.
