Nearly 600 barristers, solicitors, judges, academics and other family law practitioners gathered in central London for the prestigious annual Family Law Awards.

During the eighth annual awards ceremony – once again at the glamorous Ballroom South Bank – LexisNexis' Tony Kay hailed the hard work, drive and successes of individuals, firms and chambers from all over the U.K.

Before the winners were announced, guests were treated to a banquet of whiskey cured salmon and slowly cooked duck leg, and entertainment was provided by up and coming rapper and comedian Chris Turner.

The evening was hosted by the highly respected former family judge Her Honour Isobel Plumstead, who entertained the crowd with some inside anecdotes, while a batch of prominent industry names took to the stage to confirm 2018’s winners in 18 different categories, most of them first-time nominees.
