Christopher Knudsen wins 2023 In-House Rising Star Award
An early-career solicitor for a company focused on reducing food waste has been awarded the Law Society of Scotland’s 2023 In-House Rising Star Award.
Christopher Knudsen – who has worked as global legal counsel at Too Good To Go since December 2021 – was selected from a shortlist of four candidates to receive the prestigious award for Scottish-qualified solicitors with up to five years post-qualification experience.
Law Society of Scotland president Sheila Webster announced the winner yesterday, telling the Society’s In-House Annual Conference: “Many congratulations Christopher. All four judges agreed that you have achieved so much so early in your career.
“They were particularly impressed by the improvements and innovations you have introduced to your employer, including launching an intranet to allow internal stakeholders to access legal resources, creating self-serve contracts and conducting colleague training.”
Mr Knudsen said: “Thank you so much to the panel and Law Society for this privilege. I’m extremely grateful to Too Good To Go for creating such a supportive environment where I can help contribute to saving food waste.”
