Leadership Commentary

Upon learning about the news, Managing Partner Stefan Schmierer exclaimed that

“…the competition in the legal industry in Hong Kong and globally is at an all-time high and receiving this second recognition from asialaw in a row, is testament to our team and how we place adding value to the client at the top of our list. We realise there is a lot of choice out there, but for our clients to choose or remain with us, while at the same time providing such positive feedback to the ranking, fills me with pride and gratitude for our firm and the work we have put into it since 2020.”

Our Litigation Partner Anna Lau’s reaction:

“Last year, upon learning about our first ranking, I saw it as a fine boost to our ambitions and our momentum. Through this second ranking I can see that not only have we been able to sustain and grow our ambition, we have been able to maintain our momentum as well; which to be frank is quite a feat in Hong Kong’s competitive legal environment at the moment. A deep thanks to our clients and to our team, well done!”
