OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE
Acquisition International Announces the Winners of the 2020 Legal Awards
United Kingdom, 2020 – Acquisition International Magazine has announced the winners of the 2020 Legal Awards.
The legal landscape is peppered with extraordinary practitioners and paragons – indeed, enduring success in the industry demands a dedication to excellence and an ability to meet a client’s needs. Regardless of where you are in the world, there will be legal experts that work to redefine best practice. Whether it be through nurturing an impressive track record, or by offering a truly personalised service, there are plenty of ways for legal experts to distinguish themselves from what is, ultimately, a competitive industry to be in. Talent is in no short supply, and firms look to recruit rising stars that will help forge the future of law while preserving the knowledge and experience of its current leaders. The legal world is constantly on the pursuit for perfection, whatever that might mean to each sector and field.
As such, Acquisition International launched the Legal Awards to recognise those individuals and firms who seek to better the industry and serve their clients with excellent counsel. Commenting on the success of these deserving winners, Awards Coordinator Kaven Cooper said: “I offer a sincere congratulations to all of the well-deserved winners of this year’s programme. I hope you all have a fantastic 2021 ahead.”
Acquisition International prides itself on the validity of its awards and winners. The awards are given solely on merit and are awarded to commend those most deserving for their ingenuity and hard work, distinguishing them from their competitors and proving them worthy of recognition.
