BWS (Business Women Scotland) is proud to announce the launch of the BWS Women in Law Awards, the first awards of their kind in Scotland dedicated exclusively to celebrating and recognising women working across the legal profession.
The inaugural BWS Women in Law Awards will take place as a prestigious awards lunch, bringing together legal professionals, business leaders, and advocates from across Scotland to honour excellence, leadership, and impact within the sector. The event will feature 14 award categories, recognising women at all stages of their legal careers and across a wide range of roles within the profession.
The headline Title Sponsor for the awards is Sharri Plimbley Associates, a specialist legal recruitment company led by Sharri Plimbley. As a respected figure within the legal recruitment sector, Sharri Plimbley Associates is committed to supporting talent, progression, and diversity within law, making the partnership a natural fit for this landmark event.
Speaking on the launch, a spokesperson for BWS said:
“The Women in Law Awards mark an important milestone for Scotland. Women play a vital role across every area of the legal profession, yet their achievements are not always fully recognised. These awards are about celebrating success, sharing stories, and shining a spotlight on the women who are shaping the future of law.”
