The 2025 IrishCentral Legal Elite Awards, the annual event that honors outstanding lawyers and legal professionals across the Irish American community, will take place on November 19, 2025, with honorees, nominees, and guests gathering to celebrate at the splendid American Irish Historical Society in Manhattan.
The Legal Elite Awards were established to recognize leadership, integrity, and service within the Irish American legal community and are now entering their second year of recognition.
We are proud to have already announced our 2025 awardees covering seven categories - Rising Star, Outstanding Community Service, Client Service Excellence, Public Interest Law, Mentorship, Technology and Law, and Human Rights Defender. This year, we also honor former Congressman Joe Crowley.
Now is your last chance to purchase your tickets.
IrishCentral is offering several ticket tiers to suit the needs of different attendees and organizations. The Professional ticket provides full access to the ceremony and the networking reception, and is priced at $500. The Premium Honorees Circle package includes added recognition and costs $1,000. Sponsorship opportunities are also available with options that include VIP tickets, stage presentations, and broader branding for firms and partners.
IrishCentral has also announced the distinguished judging panel that will select this year's honorees. The roster includes clinical and academic leaders, as well as prominent practitioners and community advocates, such as Professor Michael W. Martin of Fordham, Mary Kay Lynch, and J.P. Duffy IV, among others, who bring experience in public interest work and complex litigation. The judges represent a cross-section of Irish American legal leadership and will help ensure the awards remain rigorous and respected.
Last year's ceremony brought together hundreds of professionals and featured memorable moments, including a keynote speech by Bruce Morrison. IrishCentral states that the Legal Elite Awards aim to strengthen ties within the Irish American legal community while highlighting those whose work extends beyond the courtroom into mentorship and public service.
