HFW named Transportation & Logistics Law Firm of the Year at the ALB Hong Kong Law Awards

Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has been named Transportation & Logistics Law Firm of the Year at the 25th annual ALB Hong Kong Law Awards.

HFW has now won the award more than a dozen times, reflecting the firm’s longstanding expertise in the transportation and logistics sector and the strength of its market-leading shipping and aviation practices in Hong Kong.

Hosted by Asian Legal Business and judged by an independent panel of senior legal industry leaders, the awards recognise excellence across Hong Kong’s legal market, celebrating the achievements of both private practice and in-house legal teams.

HFW was also shortlisted for Private Wealth Law Firm of the Year, Construction Law Firm of the Year and International Arbitration Law Firm of the Year, highlighting the breadth of the firm’s client offering in Hong Kong.

Peter Murphy, Hong Kong Office Head, HFW, said:

“Winning this award once again, and being shortlisted for a further three awards, is a tremendous achievement and reflects the trust our clients place in us to advise on their most important matters.”

“For close to five decades, we have worked alongside transportation and logistics businesses across Hong Kong and Asia-Pacific, helping them navigate change, manage risk and seize opportunities in increasingly complex markets. This recognition is a testament to the depth of our sector expertise, the strength of our client relationships, and the outstanding people who make up our team.”

Widely recognised as the world’s leading shipping law firm, HFW advises clients on complex, high-value matters across the full maritime lifecycle, including transactions, disputes, casualty response, regulatory issues and shipping finance. The firm’s aviation team is frequently appointed by airlines, lessors, financiers, insurers and aviation service providers to advise on a broad range of high-stakes insurance, disputes and financing matters.

HFW was among the first international law firms to establish a presence in Hong Kong in 1978. Today, Hong Kong is the firm’s second-largest office globally after London, with 18 partners and more than 40 lawyers working as part of an 80-lawyer Greater China practice which includes representative offices in Shanghai and Shenzhen.
