Isadore Goldman’s IG Construct wins Best Innovation at the LawNet Awards 2026
Isadore Goldman is delighted to have won the Best Innovation Award at the LawNet Awards 2026, recognising the success of IG Construct, the firm's specialist construction insolvency service.
The award was presented at the LawNet Annual Conference on Friday 6 November 2026, held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, Wales. The annual event brought together more than 300 delegates from across the LawNet network for a day of learning, collaboration and discussion about the future of the legal profession, followed by an evening celebrating the achievements of member firms.
This year's conference, themed RETHINK the possible, explored how law firms can embrace new ideas, respond to changing client expectations and develop innovative approaches to delivering legal services.
The LawNet Awards recognise excellence across ten categories, celebrating achievements in client care, innovation, responsible business, professional development and team performance, alongside the prestigious Law Firm of the Year awards.
Isadore Goldman was shortlisted alongside Debenhams Ottaway and Mogers Drewett in the Best Innovation category, which recognises firms challenging established approaches and introducing new ideas that deliver meaningful improvements.
IG Construct: A new approach to construction insolvency
Developed by Isadore Goldman Director Monica Kapur, IG Construct was established to address a growing challenge within the insolvency profession: the complexity of construction company failures and the difficulties Insolvency Practitioners can face when identifying and recovering assets.
Construction consistently accounts for a significant proportion of corporate insolvencies in England and Wales. These cases can involve multiple ongoing projects, disputed payments, contractual claims, retentions and complex commercial arrangements, making it difficult to establish what funds may be recoverable.
Recognising the need for a more coordinated approach, Monica developed IG Construct to bring together the expertise required to investigate and pursue construction-related recoveries within a single specialist service.
Believed to be the only UK offering of its kind, IG Construct combines specialist insolvency and construction lawyers with in-house Quantity Surveyors and Adjudicators, supported by litigation, debt recovery and restructuring expertise.
This integrated approach enables Insolvency Practitioners to access legal, technical and commercial advice from the outset, helping them assess potential claims, make informed decisions and maximise recoveries for creditors.
The service has already demonstrated considerable success. Within its first year, IG Construct received approximately 30 instructions and contributed to a six-figure recovery, with demand continuing to grow.
Recognising innovation and specialist expertise
For Isadore Goldman, the award reflects the firm's continued commitment to developing specialist expertise and identifying opportunities to improve the services available to clients.
As a boutique insolvency and restructuring law firm, Isadore Goldman continues to invest in its people, expand its capabilities and encourage new ideas that respond to the evolving needs of the insolvency profession.
IG Construct is an example of this approach in practice, taking an identified gap in the market and developing a service that is already delivering tangible results.
The firm is particularly proud of Monica's achievement in developing the concept and bringing together the expertise needed to make it a success, as well as the contributions of everyone involved in IG Construct's continued growth.
Winning the Best Innovation Award is a significant recognition of that work, particularly amongst the impressive range of law firms represented across the LawNet network.
Isadore Goldman extends its congratulations to all the other winners and finalists and thanks LawNet for another successful Annual Conference.
