Tamara Mackay-Temesy crowned winner at the World Commerce and Contracting Innovation & Excellence Awards.

Taylor Wessing Associate Tamara Mackay-Temesy has been named as the winner of the EMEA Personal Initiative Award at the 2021 World Commerce and Contracting Innovation & Excellence Awards.

This award celebrates her work championing legal design across the firm and beyond. She promotes client-centred thinking and evidence-based design methodologies for the delivery of legal solutions. This includes, but also goes far beyond, producing more readable consumer terms and privacy notices.

Following her award win Tamara said: "People expect complexity from lawyers. Legal design is the next step in our client-centred approach, applying time-tested design thinking tools to law so that we can provide more accessible, useful, and effective documents and services.

"It is great to see the virtue and value of legal design being recognised. Thank you to the dedicated team at the firm who supported me in making this initiative a growing success, particularly Harriet Loach, Kris Sales, Paul Livingstone, Kate Armstrong, and Miles Harmsworth."

Taylor Wessing's Head of Commercial Technology and Data group, Graham Hann said: "This is a testament of Tamara's hard work that so many of our colleagues and clients are getting excited about. Tamara and the team have been valiantly challenging people's expectations of what legal documents and solutions should look like for several years now and her success benefits us all."
