Asialaw is pleased to announce the shortlist for the second Asialaw Regional Awards, which will be held on Thursday, May 30 2019 at the Island Shangri-La in Hong Kong.

The evening will celebrate the national law firms across 25 jurisdictions, eight legal expertise categories and seven industry expertise categories. The awards period was for the calendar year of 2017-18. For work completed between January and May 2018, the information was captured in the 2018 Asialaw publication. Firms were encouraged to send supplementary information for matters closed between June and December 2018 inclusive.

The ceremony will also include prizes for a selection of Impact Cases and Impact Deals, which impressed the Asialaw team from 2018. There will also be operational awards for 19 jurisdictions. These client service and outstanding practitioners awards are decided using the objective data Asialaw captured regarding client feedback (average scores from client surveys) during the 2018 research process.

All winners will be announced on the evening and will have been judged on innovation, complexity and impact.

To reserve your place, please email William Lo at William.Lo@euromoneyasia.com or call +852 2842 6970
