The publishers of Acquisition International Magazine have announced
the winners of their 2013 Legal Awards.
The awards recognise the outstanding achievements of
individuals and companies within the legal
sector, encompassing everything from barristers and
boutique firms to global players. Specialities
range from energy and immigration to antitrust and
intellectual property. AI's Legal Awards identify and honour
success, innovation and ethics across international legal and
business communities.
AI prides itself on the validity of its awards and
its winners. The awards are given solely on merit and are awarded
to commend those most deserving for outstanding work over the last
12 months. Our awards recognise leaders
in their respective fields and, crucially, are nominated by their
clients and their
peers.
"The year has not been without its challenges for the legal
community but it's clear from the evidence received that the
industry's professionals have risen to the challenge," commented
Jane Peter, Chief Co-Ordinator of the 2013 Legal Awards. "They have
produced some outstanding work, showcasing some extraordinary
talent, and we're delighted the industry has been so determined to
recognise its stars."

Methodology
Our winners are determined by three factors, the
first of which is the number of votes received.
The voting forms were distributed to the 53,000+
subscribers of Acquisition International Magazine along with
180,000 legal professionals. The second factor is our substantial
in-house research. This is a vital stage because we accept both
self and third-party nominations. Thirdly, we ask the nominees to
supply supporting documents which they feel may cement their
nominations - all items we are sent are taken into
consideration.
