IFLR's awards focus on legal innovation, with a particular eye on innovation in cross-border transactions. Achievements in this field underpin the deal, team and firm of the year awards.

In recognising innovation, IFLR strives to celebrate work that improves the cross-border investment environment. IFLR will also be celebrating the market's rising stars, market-leading practitioners, and in-house lawyers and teams, as well as offering awards for innovation in legal technology, ESG, and financial regulation.

In all cases, IFLR considers the sophistication and complexity of the work and the impact of the legal innovation, as well as contextual challenges in execution. Size, volume, and media coverage play no role in decision making.

In association with IFLR, the asialaw Awards celebrate the domestic and regional law firms across 20 jurisdictions, 11 legal expertise categories and 7 industry expertise categories. Our research is conducted over the course of months, including extensive interviews with partners and surveys completed by their clients, to identify the leading lawyers and firms.

Firms participating in the asialaw annual research process will automatically be considered for the awards.

In association with our sister publications - IFLR, ITR, Managing IP, Benchmark Litigation - the Women in Business Law Awards celebrate excellence and innovation across the legal sector from today's leading women lawyers.
