To be honest we wonder why law firms still pay for this stuff. But the market in HK isn't quite as canny as London or New York so we presume people are still impressed by this stuff.
Here's the ALB blurb on their upcoming awards in Hong Kong after "months of intensive research"
Now in its ninth successful year, The Macallan ALB Hong Kong Law Awards 2010 recognises the excellence and outstanding achievements of Hong Kong's leading law firms and in-house legal teams as well as the top deals and dealmakers of financial year 2009 - 2010.
The Awards attracts over 400 of Hong Kong's most influential solicitors, in-house counsel, investment bankers, judiciary and CEOs, who assemble to celebrate with the winners as they accept their awards on stage. The event is the culmination of months of intensive research. Winners remain confidential until the awards ceremony itself, where they are revealed over a gala black-tie dinner. ALB is honoured to welcome two estemeed guests of honour -? Mr. Charles Li, Chief Executive, HKEx and Mr. Russell Coleman- SC, Chairman, Hong Kong Bar Association to this year's event.
