Hydrogen joins the UK’s top legal professionals at The Lawyer Awards 2015

Becky Morgan • 26 June 2015

Hydrogen’s legal practice put on their dancing shoes and tuxedos and joined over 1,400 legal professionals at The Lawyer Awards.


Hosted by William Hague at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel, Hydrogen proudly sponsored the ‘Finance Team of the Year’ Award. Becky Morgan, Associate Director of our legal recruitment team was the first to congratulate Sidley Austin for winning the award.


When asked as to why Hydrogen chose to sponsor this award category, Becky explained, “Over the last year, we recognise that there has been an almost unprecedented demand for finance lawyers. We're proud to have successfully recruited over 50 finance lawyers, helping law firms grow with strategic hires both at the partner as well as the associate level in the last 12 months.”


Now in its 21st year, The Lawyer Awards has established itself as the leading awards initiative within the legal industry, and it is unquestionably the biggest night of the year for the legal profession. The Awards celebrates the excellence of professionals across private practice, the public sector, commerce and industry, and the Bar.


Overall, the evening was great fun and was topped off with dancing, and fond memories were created from the photos taken at our sponsored photo booth.

For a long time, the war for talent was a skills race. Which candidate had done the launch, led the transformation, shipped the product. The logic was simple: find the person who has already done the thing you need done. That logic no longer holds.
