CONYERS WINS OFFSHORE LAW FIRM OF THE YEAR, 2009
AT THE LAWYER AWARDS
June 24, 2009
Multi-jurisdictional law firm Conyers Dill & Pearman
was named Offshore Law Firm of the Year at The Lawyer Awards held in London on
Tuesday, June 23rd.
According to the Judges criteria, the award is
presented to the firm which demonstrates superior strategic clarity, growth of
market share, technical legal excellence and quality of service. Conyers
fulfilled each of those categories and the Judges commended the firm for an
“outstanding year”.
Christopher Johnson-Gilbert, managing partner of
Conyers’ London office collected the award at the ceremony which was held at
Grosvenor House and attended by over 1000 lawyers. Mr. Johnson-Gilbert commented
“We are delighted to receive this award, which reflects the hard work of
everyone across the firm over the past year in providing the highest quality
legal advice in a responsive and timely manner relating to the leading offshore
jurisdictions of the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Bermuda and
Mauritius. Our strategic purpose and our balanced business model have seen
continued success even in times of global difficulties.”
The past year has been one of significant expansion for
Conyers during which it has advised on a number of high profile deals,
consolidated its position in relation to the BRIC markets with new offices in
Moscow and São Paulo, and the addition of a Mauritius office and a global
Mauritius practice. Conyers has also gained market share in the Cayman Islands
and British Virgin Islands, and maintained its dominance in the Bermuda market.
Conyers continues to expand with new hires, and now numbers nearly 600 staff
with over 150 lawyers located in 11 offices worldwide.
