Vable Wins BIALL Supplier of the Year 2026

Written by Philippa McIntosh | June 16, 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 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.
