HFW Again Named Hong Kong Maritime Firm Of The Year

Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has once again been named Maritime Firm of the Year at the ALB Hong Kong Law Awards.

The awards were judged by an independent panel of senior in-house counsel from across Asia.

HFW has now won the award three times in the past four years.

Christopher Chan, Head of Shipping, Hong Kong, HFW:

“We are very pleased to once again have the strength and breadth of our shipping practice in Hong Kong recognised by Asian Legal Business. We were one of the first international law firms in Hong Kong, and have been providing on-the-ground advice to clients across the shipping and maritime industry for more than 40 years.”
