Legal Week has been named Weekly Business Magazine of the Year at the 2008 PPA awards. The award is the most coveted in the magazine industry and Legal Week now has the rare distinction of having won the award twice.
The title was praised for its “agenda-setting coverage”, a “ground-breaking redesign” and the title’s success at building a “vibrant online community”.
Legal Week was selected from of a shortlist of highly-regarded business titles including the Times Educational Supplement, Drapers and Estates Gazette.
The judges said: “It’s intelligent, not gimmicky and suits its readership. It demonstrates great knowledge, has good-looking advertising and all the commercial figures are in the right direction.”
Nicky Cooper, publishing director of Legal Week, said “I’m delighted to be working on such an excellent brand. The editorial team is dedicated to delivering relevant, intelligent and independent content to its readers in the way they choose to receive it. Legal Week offers unrivalled access to the international legal community.
"And last year’s acquisition of ALM, whose market-leading titles include The American Lawyer, Corporate Counsel and law.com, provides us with an even better platform from which to grow the business.”
