We are delighted to announce that the Legal Department of Thomas Cook has been honoured with the prestigious “Best In-House Legal Team” award at the 6th Annual Corporate Legal Counsel Summit & Awards 2026.
The 6th Annual Corporate Legal Counsel Summit & Awards recognizes the invaluable role played by in-house legal counsels as the backbone of corporate governance — quietly safeguarding organizations, strategically guiding business decisions, and enabling growth with integrity and confidence. This year’s recognition further highlights the increasingly strategic role of in-house legal professionals, who today serve not only as custodians of governance and ethical practices, but also as proactive risk managers and trusted partners in driving sustainable business growth. Among the various nominations received in the hospitality sector, our Legal Team proudly secured the top honour, underscoring their exceptional contribution and professional excellence.
This achievement stands as a true testament to the dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit demonstrated by every member of our Legal Team. Their behind-the-scenes efforts have played a significant role in strengthening internal processes, enhancing compliance frameworks, and supporting business functions with timely, practical, and solution-oriented legal guidance.
It is also noteworthy that we were the only team from the travel and tourism industry to achieve this distinction, thereby setting a new benchmark for excellence in the sector.
That really makes us proud!
