CMS Hong Kong awarded 'New Asian Office of the Year'

22/03/2019

CMS in Hong Kong has been recognised as the 'New Asian Office of the Year’ at the coveted Asia Legal Awards 2019, hosted by The Asian Lawyer in association with The American Lawyer, China Law & Practice and Legal Week. Winners were revealed at a gala dinner held on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at the Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, Hong Kong.

As Asia’s most renowned ceremony for the legal elite, The Asia Legal Awards honour the best work in the region.

CMS Hong Kong opened its doors in September 2016 with a three-lawyer team. In just over two years, the office has achieved exceptional growth, expanding its headcount to 33 fee-earners. During this time, CMS has added product strength across Corporate, Disputes and Finance in Hong Kong with local law provision in all these areas. The office is now advising on a number of attractive mandates in the region, and recently completed and listed its first IPO on The Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In delivering the award, ALM Publishing Director John Malpas noted that there had been a lot of competition and commented on CMS’s recent notable strides forward in Asia.
