We are Legal Cheek's Best Law Firm for Tech 2020

Taylor Wessing has won the Best Law Firm for Tech Award at The Legal Cheek Awards 2020.

The Legal Cheek Awards are a measure of success in the recruitment and development of the next generation of the legal profession. Voted for by the future lawyers themselves, the awards are a recognition of the expertise and dedication of the winning firm and this particular award ranks Taylor Wessing as the most technologically advanced law firm in the UK.

The award follows an impressive sweep of A*s in the Legal Cheek Trainee and Junior Lawyer Survey 2019-20. Surveying over 2,000 trainees and junior associates at the country’s 80 leading corporate law firms, the survey gives a clear indication of the quality of professional life for junior lawyers.

Technology is a hot topic, now more than ever and maintaining an excellent quality of professional life is key to us.  We make that possible with our strong remote working systems, which our tech team has ensured are robust and allow us to meet new challenges head on and in a connected way."
