Wednesday 13 April 2016

Mourant Ozannes has been named Firm of the Year for Jersey at the 3rd Annual Who's Who Legal Awards in New York.

The Who's Who Legal Awards are based on research conducted among private practice lawyers of repute in their respective fields, as well as general counsel, in all the major jurisdictions.

The objective of the research is to identify a select group of practitioners considered by clients and peers to be pre-eminent in their area. Only those individuals who receive the highest number of recommendations are selected for inclusion.

Law firms and individuals cannot submit an entry and there is no shortlist. The Awards cover 35 practice areas and the leading lawyers worldwide in each are selected. Firms with the most nominees who have received the most votes from those canvassed for their opinion are named winners in each category.

Mourant Ozannes Jersey Managing Partner Jonathan Speck said: "This is a significant award for Mourant Ozannes and demonstrates the high regard in which the firm and our people are held. It is extremely gratifying to be independently recognised by clients and commentators as the market leader."

Managing Global Partner, Jonathan Rigby added: "We're extremely proud to have been named Jersey Law Firm of the Year by Who's Who Legal. This award highlights how our truly 'one firm' approach and consistent quality across the board contributes to our success."
