Vable Wins BIALL Supplier of the Year 2026

We're delighted to share that Vable has been named Supplier of the Year at the BIALL Awards 2026.

BIALL - the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians - is the professional body for law librarians across the UK and Ireland. Every year, clients and law librarians submit nominations for the suppliers who have made the greatest contribution to their community. A selection panel then chooses the winner based on those nominations. From start to finish, it's a peer-led process.

Knowing that the people we work for chose us is something we don't take lightly.

"This award belongs to our team and our clients equally. Our team works hard to build something they believe in and to support the people who depend on it every day. Our clients trust us enough to be honest with us, and that honesty is what drives everything we build. Hearing that the nomination specifically called out our support and the genuine partnership we build together - that tells us we're building the right kind of company, not just the right product."

Matthew Dickinson

CEO, Vable

This is the second major industry recognition for Vable in the past year, following our 2025 Knowledge Management Platform of the Year award from the LegalTech Breakthrough Awards. But this one is different in a meaningful way: it came directly from the community we serve. Clients and law librarians nominated us, and a panel of BIALL members selected the winner based on those nominations. Every step of the process involved the people who actually use tools like Vable - which makes it the most honest kind of endorsement there is.

This recognition reflects a period of real investment in the Vable platform - in the features, integrations, and support that our clients have told us matter most. We've always believed that the best product decisions come from listening, and this award is a sign that approach is working.

To every client who nominated us, or simply trusted us with their current awareness and legal research needs - thank you. This one's yours as much as ours.
