In-House Award SPONSOR:

At a time of disruptive change in the legal industry, we are determined to continue leading the market as we have throughout our 83-year history.

We will do that by staying one step ahead and by constantly challenging ourselves to bring new and original ways of thinking to the most complex legal challenges our clients face both throughout the Asia Pacific, and globally.

Over the past year we have worked with some of the world’s most sophisticated businesses on market-leading transactions that have changed the competitive landscape. This includes: advising Telenor on its successful bid for one of two telecommunications licences in Myanmar in the country’s first internationally recognised public procurement process; advising on the largest oil refinery project in Vietnam (Nghi Son); and advising on the ground breaking creation of Abu Dhabi’s first financial free zone, the Abu Dhabi Global Market. We have also continued our push into ASEAN growth markets with three new offices in three years: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Yangon.

We are able to build on the foundations of our long heritage to attract the most talented people and develop the high-performance culture necessary to innovate and change the face of business.

Our commitment to help our clients deliver their global strategies has seen us build a truly global network now spanning 43 offices in 30 countries. We have also developed strong ties with relationship law firms in more than 100 countries where we do not have a presence.

This network has allowed us to become one of the largest and most connected law firms in our peer group, with a global reach and local depth that is simply unrivalled.

So when we talk about global coverage, we are not just talking about having offices in some important cities around the world. We mean being able to combine our
international resources and sector expertise to work on cross-border transactions directly in the markets and regions important to our clients.
