Cleveland & Co is delighted to announce that it has been Commended in two categories at the FT Innovative Lawyers Awards Europe 2026, a significant moment for the firm and a proud recognition of its commitment to innovation.

The results were announced on 24 September at a celebratory ceremony at the Natural History Museum in London. The evening brought together many of Europe's leading law firms, in-house legal teams and legal innovators. Cleveland & Co was proud to be among them and to be recognised in the following categories:

– Innovation in Digital Tools: Law Firm Operations, for "Real-Time Data, Transparent Pricing and Integrated Client Systems"

– Innovation in Digital Tools: Legal Work, for "Reformat: Eliminating Hidden Inefficiencies in Legal Drafting Through AI"

For Cleveland & Co, the recognition affirms a belief that has guided the firm's approach to technology: the most meaningful innovation comes from those who understand legal practice from the inside, and who have the conviction to build something better.

"We are honoured and delighted to receive this recognition from the Financial Times," said Emma Cleveland, CEO and Global General Counsel of Cleveland & Co. "It is a tribute to our team, whose expertise, creativity and dedication have turned ambitious ideas into tools that make a real difference to our clients. To be recognised in two categories, alongside so many distinguished firms, is a source of great pride for all of us. We thank the Financial Times and RSGI for their recognition and for a memorable evening."

The firm extends its warmest congratulations to all the winners and commended firms, whose work continues to shape the future of the legal profession.
