Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has been named Law Firm of the Year in three categories in China Business Law Journal’s China Business Law Awards 2022: Aviation, Insurance and Reinsurance, and Shipping.
This is the sixth consecutive year that the firm has won the Aviation and Shipping Firm of the Year Awards, and the fifth consecutive year it has won the Insurance & Reinsurance Firm of the Year Award.
China Business Law Journal’s China Business Law Awards are based on hundreds of nominations received from China-focused corporate counsel and legal professionals around the world.
In determining the winners, the nominations were considered carefully in combination with other factors, such as each firm’s landmark deals, cases and other notable achievements over the past year. They also consulted widely with law firm clients and conducted a large number of surveys to ascertain the level of satisfaction with the services provided by each firm.
Nicholas Poynder, Shanghai Office Head, HFW:
“I’m very pleased we have once again been recognised by CBLJ, clients and peers for our deep sector knowledge and expertise. This is a great achievement for the firm and for our practice in Shanghai.”
