Recognizing exceptional achievements at NATIONAL

Annually, AVENIR GLOBAL honors standout employees with the Achievement Awards, celebrating those whose outstanding contributions have bolstered our core values, driven growth, and solidified our industry leadership.

Among more than 257 nominations submitted by colleagues, 87 laureates were selected this year for their accomplishments in seven categories. The awards were presented during local ceremonies for each of our offices.

In addition to the winners in local categories, AVENIR GLOBAL also presented two global recognition awards:

• Katy Compton-Bishop, Managing Director, Healthcare, at Madano, is the recipient of the 2025 AVENIR GLOBAL Way Award, presented to the employee who best represents the Firm’s values and embodies our brand by applying bold thinking to solve challenges and establishing trusted relationships with clients and partners.
• Joe Derry-Malone, Managing Director, Advocacy, at Hanover London, is the recipient of the 2025 Luc Beauregard Award, dedicated to the memory of our founder, and presented to one of the AVENIR GLOBAL Achievement Awards winners whose stellar nomination and strong performance during the year truly stood out among all local laureates.
