Managing partner Daniel Birtwistle said that the award reflected the firm’s reputation and work in the last 12 months, which has included acting as Jersey counsel on the largest ever European private equity fundraising, which received commitments from over 300 investors around the world.
The firm’s global teams were also recognised for the quality and calibre of their work in the most recent Private Client, Legal Aircraft and Private Funds guides.
‘It’s a statement of confidence in us as a leading offshore firm, and it reflects confidence in Jersey,’ Mr Birtwistle said. ‘Having a global perspective, and thinking globally, means that we are able to play a significant role in supporting and developing the Island’s success and reputation as a leading international finance centre.’
The Who’s Who Legal Awards are based on research conducted among private-practice lawyers of repute in their respective fields, as well as general counsel, in all the major jurisdictions.
