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 on March 4.

A list of finalist for each category will be published as a result of the intelligence process on March 4. The Jury members will be the only ones responsible for the final assessment.
PHASES TO SELECT THE FINALISTS
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.
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 ACC Europe 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 on March 4. However, the winners will be announced during the gala that will take place in the city of Zurich on 5 May 2022 (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.
Legalcommunity.ch authorizes the finalists and winners to use the image rights linked to the “Legalcommunity Awards – Switzerland – 2021 edition”.
