PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 11, 2026 — Magna Legal Services’ human resources team has earned a 2026 HR Department of the Year Award, bringing recognition to the people who help employees get started, find support and develop their careers across the nationwide legal services company.
The team was honored November 5 at the program’s 29th annual awards celebration at the Crystal Tea Room in Philadelphia.
“Our people are the reason clients put their trust in Magna. They deserve the same care and commitment they bring to their work from us” said Mark Williams, President & CEO of Magna Legal Services. “Mariya and her team play an essential role in delivering on that responsibility. I’m proud to see their work recognized.”
“People often come to HR at an important moment in their lives. They need someone who will listen, give them a clear answer and help them figure out the next step,” said Mariya Lyubman, Chief Human Resources Officer of Magna Legal Services. “This award belongs to our team and reflects the care they bring to those conversations every day.”
Magna’s HR team supports employees across recruiting, onboarding, benefits, payroll and employee development. For employees, that work can mean finding their footing in a new role, getting answers about benefits or working through an important career decision.
The HR Department of the Year Awards recognizes HR departments in the Philadelphia region for their contributions to their organizations. Magna’s selection followed a detailed application, an interview and a presentation to a panel of judges about the team’s work supporting the company and its employees.
