Linklaters has been recognised for its innovation leadership at the prestigious FT Innovative Lawyers Awards, with the firm winning multiple awards for its innovation on client work and its leadership in AI.

• The firm won the Innovative Lawyers in Infrastructure category for its work on a pioneering RAB financing framework for the nuclear power station Sizewell C.  
• Our AI Lawyer cohort were winners in the Training and Change Management category for their work embedding AI across the firm’s global practice groups.
• Applied Intelligence, Linklaters’ dedicated practice group building bespoke AI solutions to address clients’ most challenging problems, was highly commended.
• Linklaters was the only firm to score a perfect 60 out of 60 in the overall innovation category.

Tom Quoroll, Partner, Applied Intelligence co-founder, and lead of Linklaters AI programme, said:
 

"This breadth of recognition is a tremendous endorsement of the work going on across our firm. We have the privilege of working alongside many of the world's most innovative organisations, helping them navigate change and deliver market-leading outcomes. Thank you to our outstanding teams who make this possible."

Sarah Barnard, Director of AI Delivery and Applied Intelligence co-founder, said:
 

"This award reflects the collective efforts of our talented Linklaters colleagues who are embedding AI directly into how we deliver for our clients. We’re investing in our AI lawyer group and are excited about the momentum we’re building.”

Charlotte Morgan, Partner and Sizewell C lead, said:
 

"It’s an honour that our pioneering financing framework has been recognised in this way and this award is a testament to the truly innovative work which the Linklaters team has delivered. Every day we work to provide the highest quality legal advice in the market and help clients solve their most important challenges. That is no more evident than in the groundbreaking regulated asset based structure we developed with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, the National Wealth Fund, Ofgem and Sizewell C and which successfully attracted private capital into the nuclear sector.”
