Benchmark Europe is proud to announce the winners of the second annual European awards for the best firms, teams, lawyers and cases throughout Europe over the past 12 months. The Benchmark Europe awards recognises excellence in the disputes and litigation market present throughout the European market across a wide range of dispute resolution practice areas.
In light of the ongoing spread of coronavirus (COVID-19), it was with much regret that we decided to cancel the European awards. Nonetheless, Benchmark Europe is proud to recognise and celebrate achievements and developments in the past 12 months in the EMEA region.
A big congratulations to all who have been shortlisted below and of course in particular congratulations to our winners this year. Our team look forward to seeing you all next year at our 2021 awards ceremony.
All the winners have the opportunity to receive a range of opportunities and benefits to enhance your success in these awards. Please reach out to James Murray - james.murray@euromoneyasia.com
