How are the winners decided?
The vast majority of the awards are based on anonymous feedback surveys submitted by recent vacation scheme students and current trainee solicitors. After all, who else is better placed to rate the quality of the programme on offer than those who have experienced them?
The surveys ask for feedback on the values we believe aspiring solicitors look for when choosing firms to apply to.
In addition, all firms are entered into the Best Website and Best Social Media categories, which are judged by a student panel made up of members from the AllAboutLaw.co.uk user database.
What judging criteria do we ask judges to use?
