Law firm Eversheds has won the innovation in business of law award at the prestigious FT Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers Awards 2015. The firm was also ranked eighth in the FT Law 25 ranking of Asia-Pacific’s most innovative law firms, up 9 places from 2014.
The 2015 FT Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers Awards celebrate the most innovative legal work in the region from both international and Asia-Pacific headquartered law firms.
The awards also recognise the firms that are doing the most to transform the legal market, the in-house legal teams that are adding the most value to business, and the most innovative individuals working in the Asia-Pacific region.
Stephen Kitts, Managing Partner of Eversheds Asia, said, “This is an excellent achievement which is testament to the hard work and commitment of all the team. Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We are really proud of the progress we have made in Asia.
“Our philosophy is straightforward - clients need to feel that they are in control of our relationship. The Goldwind engagement is the embodiment of all we stand for - first class, consistent multi-jurisdictional advice delivered in a spirit of cost effectiveness and efficiency. Some call this ‘innovation’ we call it ‘ordinary course of business’.”
