Spencer West Named Finalist in Two Categories at LexisNexis Legal Awards 2025
Spencer West has been shortlisted for two prestigious categories at the upcoming LexisNexis Legal Awards 2025: International Team of the Year and the Business Development Award.
The nominations recognise the firm’s collaborative approach to global expansion and its Law Reach initiative, its unique business development initiative that has redefined its approach to client relationships and a burgeoning global community.
Senior Partner Simeon Spencer said the news was recognition of the firm’s significant progress and growth in areas which are a key focus for the firm.
“Being named as finalists in these two categories reflects our commitment to reimagining how a modern law firm can operate on the global stage.”
“Our rapid international growth across markets like South Africa, Cyprus, Kenya, and the Bahamas, deepens our conviction in our innovative fee-share model.
“It has enabled us to build a truly connected global offering that delivers exceptional value to our clients and allows our talented team to collaborate internationally.”
Spencer West’s pioneering Law Reach initiative, which connects Spencer West with boutique law firms worldwide, has created a powerful network for cross-border collaboration and client service delivery.
Director of Marketing and Business Development Emma Sosner emphasised the strategic importance of this approach.
“Law Reach represents a fundamental shift in how we build and maintain client relationships. By creating a community of trusted partner firms, we’ve established a sustainable model for growth that benefits both our clients and our network members.
“Law Reach, coupled with our investment in AI-powered business development tools, demonstrates our commitment to innovation in legal service delivery.”
The firm’s international expansion has been particularly noteworthy, with new offices established across multiple continents and plans for further growth into the United States and India. This strategic growth has been supported by advanced technology platforms that enable seamless cross-border collaboration and enhanced client service delivery.
The LexisNexis Legal Awards 2025 winners will be announced at a ceremony on 13 March 2025. These nominations follow a period of significant growth and innovation for Spencer West, as the firm continues to strengthen its position as a dynamic and refreshing player in international law.
