Congratulations are due to our firms in the Asian continent for being recognized by ASIAN-MENA COUNSEL - In-House Community Firms of the Year 2016.
The award recognizes law firms that have made a significant impression on 1,000 polled in-house counsel in the past year. Participating in-house counsel voluntarily nominate any firm and were asked, among other things, for comments on quality and value of service. The results indicate private practice teams whose service have been of meritorious quality and who have been responsive to their clients’ needs.

 

Where applicable, both domestic and international firms have been recognized as “Winners”, and where results have been too close to call, joint category winners have been announced. In addition to the winning firms, “Honourable Mentions” have been awarded to law firms that have also received notable in-house recognition.
