The Financial Times has shortlisted Three Crowns in two categories at its 2026 Innovative Lawyers North America Awards:
- Intrapreneur, recognizing the firm’s CEO and General Counsel, Hugh Carlson
- Innovation in Knowledge & Data, for Nexus
The Intrapreneur shortlisting recognizes Hugh’s leadership of the firm’s effort to build its own software in direct response to what the business needs, rather than fitting the firm’s work to off-the-shelf products.
Nexus is one product of that effort. It is a client relationship platform developed in-house with Anthropic’s Claude Code, designed around how the firm actually manages its relationships.
The shortlistings follow two FT Innovative Lawyers wins in the past year: Innovation in Digital Tools: Law Firm Operations at the Europe Awards 2026, and Innovation in Training and Development at the North America Awards 2025.
Winners will be announced at Gotham Hall in New York on December 7.
