The International Association of Outsourcing Professionals® (IAOP®) has for the fourth year in a row named international technology, media and telecoms law firm Olswang a Global Outsourcing 100® company. The firm is also included in The World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors list, a subset of the overall roster that recognises the world’s top 20 outsourcing advisors and consultants.

The 2017 Global Outsourcing 100 and The World's Best Outsourcing Advisors recognise the world’s best outsourcing service providers and advisors. These lists are based on applications received, and judging relies on a rigorous scoring methodology that includes a review by an independent panel of IAOP customer members with extensive experience in selecting outsourcing service providers and advisors for their organisations.

Olswang's award-winning Technology and Sourcing team advises multinational companies such as BP, Marks & Spencer and Unilever on an array of complex and strategic outsourcing and procurement transactions.

Olswang Partner Dominic Dryden commented: “It is an honour to be ranked yet again in the IAOP’s World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors list. Receiving this accolade for the fourth year running is a testament to the depth and strength of our practice and the value we help our clients deliver. The past year has seen Olswang advise on a number of transformational and ground-breaking sourcing and procurement transactions, and my thanks go to our whole team for their hard work, dedication and performance."

IAOP CEO Debi Hamill said: “Buyers understand there are hundreds of qualified service providers and advisors out there, but what they really need to understand now is what makes each one exceptional. The Global Outsourcing 100 and World's Best Advisors lists have done just that. We are proud to recognise Olswang for being among the highest rated companies in this industry."

In addition to being named a 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 Global Outsourcing 100® company and included on The World’s Best Outsourcing Advisors, Dominic Dryden was included in the 2015 The Lawyer Hot 100 list for his seasoned expertise and high-profile work. Olswang’s Sourcing team was also voted Outsourcing Advisory of the Year in 2013 by the European Outsourcing Association. The team was also shortlisted in 2015 in the NOA’s Innovation category and in 2016 by the British Legal Awards for 'Commercial Team of the Year'.
