International law firm CMS won two awards at the 2023 Professional Pensions Rising Star Awards Ceremony, which was held on Thursday 16 November in London.
Professional Pensions launched the inaugural Rising Star Awards to celebrate the emerging talent in pensions. The awards identify the pensions sector’s future leaders and recognise the organisations and individuals who develop and foster new talent in the industry. CMS won in two separate categories, taking home the organisational award for supporting development, while CMS Associate Dominika Gasiorowski was named Trainee of the Year.
CMS Pensions Partner Mark Jenkins commented: “We are delighted to have won the award for supporting development, and to see Dominika win the Trainee of the Year Award. CMS nurtures a culture of trust, respect and support where colleagues can maximise their potential and thrive. We have embraced this culture of mentoring and support and is something I believe in passionately. It is wonderful to see our training and development schemes receive industry recognition.”
This is the latest recognition in what has been another successful year for the CMS Pensions team. The team was named European Pensions Law Firm of Year earlier this year in recognition of its depth of expertise, advising on some of the highest-profile de-risking and restructuring projects.
