SINGAPORE - Law firm Allen & Gledhill was named the top regional and national law firm at the prestigious International Financial Law Review (IFLR) Asia Awards in Hong Kong on Thursday night.

It is the second consecutive year that the Singapore law firm has won the regional award, after being the first South-east Asian law firm to take home the award last year.

The firm has also won the Singapore law firm award for the 14th year, since the IFLR Asia Awards was introduced in 2000.

"We are grateful to our clients for giving us the opportunity to work on some of the region's most innovative deals," said Mr Lucien Wong, chairman and senior partner of Allen & Gledhill.

"The awards reflect the continuing commitment and dedication of our lawyers and staff in providing the highest quality of legal services to our clients."

The IFLR Asia Awards recognise the region's most innovative deals, and the firms that worked on them.
