Organised by CILEX, the UK National Paralegal Awards celebrate excellence within the paralegal profession and highlight the vital role paralegals play across the legal industry. Winners are selected by an independent judging panel of legal professionals, based on criteria that include professional competence and a demonstrable commitment to paralegal development.

This recognition reflects the dedication, expertise, and pride demonstrated by our Paralegal teams across both Patents and Trade Marks, and underlines Murgitroyd’s continued investment in learning, progression, and professional development.
