Global, sector-focused law firm HFW has once again been recognised as a leading firm in Chambers Asia-Pacific 2020, which ranks the region’s top lawyers and law firms.
HFW achieved 51 practice and lawyer rankings across its network of offices in the region, including Band 1 rankings for Shipping in Australia, Hong Kong, PRC, Singapore and for the Asia-Pacific region as a whole.
HFW is also ranked by Chambers among the top five Aviation Finance practices in Singapore, and entered the rankings for Employment in Australia following the arrival of Mark Sant‘s leading industrial relations team.
Client testimonies in the directory praised HFW’s “global presence” and “outstanding capabilities across China, Singapore and Australia”, and highlighted the firm’s “client-oriented and dedicated approach” and “second-to-none” advice.

The Chambers rankings are based on a combination of research and client feedback, with assessments made on technical legal ability, professional conduct, client service, commercial astuteness, diligence and commitment.
