Neuro-rehab is changing fast. New technology, new ways of working and a growing understanding of what recovery can look like are all redefining the outcomes available to people living with brain and spinal injuries.
Behind many of these breakthroughs sits a legal team working quietly to secure the funding, support and justice that make real rehabilitation possible.
The NR Times 2026 Awards want to recognise that work, and the Brain/Spinal Injury Law Firm of the Year category, sponsored by Neuro Case Management (NCMUK), is your chance to put it in the spotlight.
About the sponsor
NCMUK is a family-run brain and spinal injury case management company with its head office based in South Yorkshire established by husband and wife team, Martin and Maria Gascoigne.
Working with both Adults and Paediatrics, we promote an all-inclusive service implementing a transparent working practice.
Our Team has a shared vast level of experience, a wealth of knowledge and contacts with an array of Professionals throughout the country.
The NCMUK ethos is to respect our Client’s needs and to work sensitively to support them with all of the complex issues that they experience throughout their life journey.
What the judges are looking for
NR Times is looking for individuals or firms who have embraced innovation to give clients new hope and to secure outcomes that go beyond expectation.
Think creative approaches to complex litigation, collaborative work with case managers and rehab providers, and examples of best practice that other firms in the sector can learn from.
If your team has found a better way of doing things this year, this is exactly the kind of story the judges want to hear.
Why it’s worth entering
Entering isn’t just about the trophy.
Winners receive a physical award and sit down for an interview with an NR Times journalist, giving your firm genuine editorial coverage rather than a paid advert.
Even better, every shortlisted entry, whether you win or not, gets extensive coverage across the NR Times website, social media and newsletter.
For firms working in a specialist and often quite close-knit sector, that kind of visibility with the right audience of clinicians, case managers and fellow legal professionals is hard to buy.
Key dates to know
Nominations and entries are open now and close on 30 September. Shortlisting and judging take place throughout October, with winners announced at a late November online presentation.
That gives you plenty of time to put together a compelling entry, but it’s worth starting sooner rather than later so you’re not scrambling in September.
How to enter
Entering is free and straightforward.
Head to the NR Times Awards entry page and submit your nomination via the online form.
If you have any questions about what the judges are looking for, or which category best fits your firm’s work, you can email awards coordinator Gordon Stribling at [email protected].
