We're proud to share that Harper James has been shortlisted for New Law Business of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 2026, recognising our distinctive model and the impact it continues to have on how legal services are delivered to scaling businesses.
The Lawyer Awards are one of the legal sector’s most respected accolades, and the New Law Business category recognises firms that are reshaping the profession through innovation, performance and client impact.
For our clients, this recognition reinforces the value of a model created around the realities of running and scaling a business. By moving away from traditional law firm structures, we're able to provide responsive, highly commercial senior legal expertise from lawyers who act as a true extension of in‑house teams – offering practical advice, transparent pricing and support that grows alongside our clients’ ambitions.
It also reflects the people who make it all work. Our solicitors, many of them from top 100 firms or senior in-house roles, choose to work with us because they want to focus on doing their best work for clients, supported by our experienced business services professionals and an advanced technology-enabled platform. That's how we deliver the consistent, relationship-led support our clients rely on, whatever stage they're at.
Commenting on the shortlisting, Toby Harper, our founder and CEO, said:
Being shortlisted for New Law Business of the Year is an important recognition of what we’ve been building at Harper James. From day one, we've set out to be a law firm that genuinely works for growth-focused businesses. I’m extremely proud of our team’s commitment and dedication to this mission, and ever grateful for the trust clients put in us to support their businesses as they scale.
