Hong Kong – May 19, 2004 – LAWFUEL – Clifford Chance has been named “Best Law Firm” at the
FinanceAsia / AsianInvestor Magazine 2004 Achievement Awards ceremony in May
at the Island Shangri La Hotel, Hong Kong, an annual event for the Asian
funds industry. The award reflects the firm’s outstanding reputation and
expertise in this sector.
This was the first time that a law firm involved in the region’s funds
industry has been honoured, and the judges took into account: Clifford
Chance’s innovative and groundbreaking legal work in fund structures; the
size, experience and stability of the firm’s team in Asia; important ways
the team has helped the funds management industry navigate developments in
the region’s regulatory systems, and other contributions to the industry.

commented:
“We are delighted that the work we have done for our clients in the region
is being continually recognised in the market. To be named ‘Best Law Firm’
shows the strength and experience of our funds practice, and our ability to
provide innovative structures in the funds arena has certainly put us ahead
of other law firms in this area. We are proud to continue to play a leading
role in transactions of great importance to the Asian funds market.”
