The Initiative is governed by the rules indicated below.

ART. 2 – Rules for participation and selection: participation in the Initiative is reserved for lawyers in private practice / law firms and in-house lawyers/in-house lawyer teams:

Working in Switzerland;
Working on the Swiss Market from abroad.
Candidates will be preliminarily identified through submission forms, together with a research process carried out by legalcommunity.ch research team. References from clients and peer will be very valuable. Finalists could be included in one or more categories.

A list of finalist for each category will be published as a result of the intelligence process. The Jury members will be the only ones responsible for the final assessment.

PHASES TO SELECT THE FINALISTS

First phase: All submissions received will be examined by a legalcommunity.ch research team. The submission form should focus mainly on the main matters carried out during last 12 months. If any information on the submission is confidential, please indicate so. However, any information provided will not be disclosed without the prior authorization of the firm or lawyer, or in-house team or in-house lawyer.
During the market research, both data provided by the law firms, lawyers, in-house team and in-house lawyer in the submissions and the information gathered by the market as a result of the intelligence process will be taken into consideration.

Second phase: Jury voting / Winner selection
The winners per category will be selected by the Jury and announced on the Gala night.
Legalcommunity.ch will convene a jury that will be comprised of a selected group of people from the Legalcommunity.ch newsroom and a representative from GCs with a good understanding of the sector as a representation of the market.

The winners will be determined by the votes of the jury.

ART. 3 – Communication of the finalists and winners: the list of finalists for each of categories will be published on the legalcommunity.ch website. However, the winners will be announced during the gala that will take place in the city of Zurich on 4th of May 2023 (the location of the event will be indicated on our website).

ART. 4 – Award ceremony: Winners will be announced for each of the categories during the Gala ceremony. The award will not have a financial value, since it is a public recognition of purely symbolic nature. The award will be given to the best finalist by category, who will have to personally attend the Gala and collect it.

For the purpose of collecting the prize, the presence of the winner for the individual categories and/or at least one management representative of the winning team will be mandatory. In case of not being present at the ceremony, it will be considered as a waiver and will be passed to the second best scored.
