InnovAction Awards Overview

Recognizing Innovation and Innovators in Action Around the World

The InnovAction Awards are a worldwide search for lawyers, law firms, and other deliverers of legal services currently engaged in extraordinary innovative efforts. The awards illustrate what can be created when passionate professionals, with big ideas and strong convictions, are determined to make a difference. Each year, we present the InnovAction Awards to those unsung heroes and rising stars within the legal profession who dare to think differently and succeed by doing so.
