This beloved tradition not only fuels a friendly competition among legal professionals but also offers a unique opportunity to spread some much-needed joy and camaraderie within the industry.
Holiday cards have long been a cherished way for law firms to connect with clients, colleagues, and the community during the holiday season. They are a canvas for firms to express their personality, values, and artistic talents. From humorous sketches and heartfelt messages to innovative digital animations, the variety and creativity displayed in these cards are boundless.

Whether it’s a small boutique firm or a large multinational, all are encouraged to submit their best holiday cards. The competition has seen everything from elegant, classic designs to quirky, avant-garde creations, making each year’s contest uniquely unpredictable and exciting.
Judging will be conducted by a panel of experts from Above the Law, who will evaluate entries based on originality, artistic quality, and the message conveyed. The winning firm will not only receive bragging rights but also a special feature on Above the Law, providing them with significant exposure and recognition in the legal community.
