October 1, 2025

Vinson & Elkins has been awarded “Marketing Initiative of the Year” at the Legal Business Awards 2025 for its flagship Global Construction Conference Series, a campaign described by clients as “like the Oscars” for its ability to convene senior in-house counsel and commercial leaders from across the construction and engineering sectors.

The 2024 series spanned London, Tokyo, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Houston, and Dubai, using an innovative role-play format that tracked a dispute “from grave to cradle,” offering participants unique, practical insights into complex legal and commercial challenges. High-level Q&A sessions with former senior judges and international arbitrators further distinguished the programme, setting a new standard for industry events.

The initiative delivered measurable results, strengthening relationships and leading to new instructions from both existing and new clients. To extend its impact, Vinson & Elkins also ran a fortnightly virtual legal “clinic,” which has already converted into significant mandates globally.

The Legal Business Awards ceremony, now in its 28th year, took place on Tuesday 30th September at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, and celebrates the very best in the legal profession. This recognition highlights Vinson & Elkins’ innovative approach to client engagement and its reputation as a leader in global construction disputes.
