2020 Houston Corporate Counsel Awards Nominations are Open

The Association of Corporate Counsel Houston Chapter and The Texas Lawbook are accepting nominations for the 2020 Houston Corporate Counsel Awards. The nomination process is open through February 21, 2020.

Finalists will be announced in late March. The 2020 Houston Corporate Counsel Awards ceremony is set for Thursday, April 30, 2020 at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Houston.
 
Here are this year's categories:
 
  • Lifetime Achievement Award
  • Transaction of the Year
  • Senior In-House Counsel of the Year (Large, Medium & Small/Solo Departments)
  • Community & Public Service
  • Legal Innovation (Individual and Corporate Legal Department)
  • Creative Partnership
  • Business Litigation of the Year
  • Rookie of the Year
  • Corporate Legal Department Diversity
  • General Counsel of the Year (Large, Medium & Small/Solo Departments)
 
The rules for nomination are simple: the corporate counsel being nominated must reside and work in the Houston area and the work for which they are being honored must have occurred in 2019.
 
Detailed descriptions of each category appear as you begin the questionnaire.

Anyone can make a nomination, including outside counsel, in-house colleagues, or service providers. However, nominations by law firms MUST be submitted by a lawyer at the firm.

Insider Tip: The more information you provide in your submission about the lawyers and legal departments being nominated and the successes they’ve achieved, the more likely it is that they will be selected as finalists.

Note: The information you provide will be used for articles in The Texas Lawbook if the person you nominate is a finalist. Please let us know if you have any questions. My email is mark.curriden@texaslawbook.net. My phone is 214.232.6783. Thank you for your interest and participation. We think this is going to be even better than last year's.
