June 25, 2025 – Financial Times highlighted Liam Brown among its just-released roster of the global legal industry’s ‘Top 20 Market Shapers’ over the past two decades, noting his achievements as ‘a pioneer of the idea of bringing efficient service delivery to both law firms and in-house legal teams.’ The designation represents a ‘best of the best’ recognition, with honorees selected from more than 100 industry leaders the publication designated in its annual Innovative Lawyers series from 2005 through 2025. 

Financial Times previously shortlisted Liam as one of ten 2018 Market Shapers in its 2018 Intelligent Business Awards for digital transformation of the legal and professional services industries, also listing Elevate as a finalist that year in both the Integrated Services and Managing Legal Costs categories. Additionally, Elevate has twice won the Financial Times Innovative Lawyers award for innovation in collaboration, first in 2019 for work on a LIBOR-repapering tool and again in 2022 in the Industry Impact category for the Legal Metrics Portal.
