Now in its 23rd year, the Scottish Legal Awards celebrates excellence, innovation and achievement across Scotland’s legal profession. The awards recognise the outstanding contributions of individuals, teams and firms who continue to shape and strengthen the legal sector, while providing a platform to showcase best practice and professional success. 

As Scotland’s largest independent awards programme for the legal profession, the Scottish Legal Awards are renowned for their robust and impartial judging process, overseen by an experienced panel of respected industry leaders. Each year, the awards bring together hundreds of legal professionals from across the country to celebrate the very best the sector has to offer. 

The renewed partnership marks another chapter in the long-standing relationship between Denovo and the Scottish Legal Awards. As a leading provider of legal software and services, Denovo has been a valued supporter of the legal community for many years, helping firms embrace technology, improve efficiencies and deliver exceptional client service. 

The three-year agreement reflects a shared vision for celebrating excellence within Scotland’s legal profession while recognising the achievements of individuals, teams and firms across the sector. 

Stephen Hill, managing director of Denovo, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be back as Headline Sponsor of the Scottish Legal Awards in 2026. We’ve built such a strong partnership with the fantastic team at KD Media over the years that coming back for another round felt like an easy decision. 

“The SLAs are always one of the standout nights in the Scottish legal calendar. It’s a chance to celebrate the incredible work, innovation and dedication happening across the profession. Every year the event seems to get bigger, better and somehow squeezes even more talent into the room. The quality of entries this year is among the strongest we’ve ever seen. 

“We’re already looking forward to another brilliant evening in September. Although, if previous years are anything to go by, we’ll probably spend half the night wondering how we’re going to top it again next year!” 

The 2026 Scottish Legal Awards will take place on Thursday 17th September 2026 at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Glasgow Central.
