asialaw is pleased to announce the shortlist for the third asialaw Awards, which will be held virtually for the first time on Tuesday, 25 August 2020.

The awards will celebrate the domestic and regional law firms across 25 jurisdictions, ten legal expertise categories and seven industry expertise categories. The awards period was for the calendar year of 2018 -19. The information was captured in the submission for the last edition of asialaw Profiles. Firms were also encouraged to send supplementary information for extra information on deals or cases which closed in the remainder of 2019.

The awards will also include prizes for a selection of Impact Cases and Impact Deals, which impressed the asialaw team from 2019. There will also be ‘Client Service Excellence’ awards for 19 jurisdictions. The client service excellence awards are decided using the objective data asialaw captured regarding client feedback (average scores from client surveys) during the 2019 research process.

All winners will be announced on 25 August online and will have been judged on innovation, complexity and impact.

We have a variety of packages available to help showcase your success at these awards. For further details please e-mail James Murray at james.murray@euromoneyasia.com or call +852 6019 4668
