Scala

Writing an award submission takes time, teamwork, and plenty of forward planning! Scala has been writing successful award submissions for over 10 years, working with law firms and other legal sector organisations, to give them the very best chance of being shortlisted/winning an award.

We know what works… and what doesn’t….and we take the time to fully research and sift through suitable content to decide what should be included. Our Managing Director has been a judge at the Northern Law Awards on several occasions, so understands what it’s like from a judge’s perspective too. Not only are you able to tap into this expertise, it makes practical and financial sense to get us on board, as it frees up your valuable time!

We can help to identify relevant industry awards and categories for your company and employees and work closely with you and your team to plan-ahead (often a year in advance) to ensure you have the very best content needed to write an award-winning submission. Included in this article are details of all legal industry awards available to enter. Whilst some of the entry deadline dates have now passed, it’s a good point of reference to explore what you can enter next year.

Video Entries 

Increasingly, video entries are being used as award submissions rather than written ones. Whilst there may be a slightly higher cost involved in producing them, we've found that they are an extremely effective award entry method. Working with our highly skilled videographer, we create powerful and emotive award entries that grab judge's attention.

Pre and Post Award PR

In the run up to, and following the event, we can help manage or advise on social media activity, blog posts and media communication to ensure you make the most of the occasion.

We also have experience (and a great track record) of writing award winning entries for industry specific awards, including healthcare and legal technology.

For support with writing your nominations, please contact us: NatalieRodgers@scala.uk.com.
