LAWIN wins the first Chambers Europe Award for Excellence in the Baltics
May, 2012 - Tallinn, Estonia
Chambers Europe, one of the world’s leading and most reputable legal directories, has crowned LAWIN with the Chambers Europe Award for Excellence, making LAWIN the first winner of this prestigious award in the Baltic region. The awards ceremony was held in Amsterdam on May, 10, 2012.
Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence, honoring outstanding law firms in Europe, have been granted since 2008, on the basis of independent research carried out by Chambers Europe. The awards reflect a law firm’s pre-eminence in key practice areas and notable achievements over the past 12 months including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service. This year, for the first time, these prestigious European legal awards include the Baltic States as a separate award category.
Peeter Lepik, Chairman of the LAWIN Management Board, says that LAWIN is very proud to be the very first winner of these prestigious international legal awards that are based mostly on clients’ opinions, our firm’s practices and service quality. “LAWIN offices in the Baltics have been very active in recent years and we have our clients to thank for these opportunities to work on so many challenging projects. As a single pan-Baltic law firm now using our joint expertise, LAWIN will continue to strive to provide even more benefits to our local and international clients.”
The Award for Excellence from Chambers Europe continues to fortify LAWIN’s position as the internationally highest ranked law firm in the Baltics. The firm was also honored to be the very first Baltic winner of other prestigious European legal awards. LAWIN was the first recipient of the IFLR (International Financial Law Review) award for the Baltics when this leading global publication in the field of international finance introduced “the Baltic States” category in 2008. The renowned European legal publication, The Lawyer magazine, selected LAWIN as the first winner of the European awards in the category "Scandinavia & The Baltic States" in 2009 and the newly established category “’the Baltic States” in 2011. Since 2008, LAWIN has been the only law firm in the Baltics that has received awards from Who’s Who Legal - a well-regarded legal publication and an official partner of the International Bar Association (IBA).
