Multinational law firm Pinsent Masons has been named as a top tier firm in three categories in the In-House Community Awards 2021.

The firm has been awarded China Firm of the Year 2021 in the Energy & Natural Resources, International Arbitration and Projects and Project Financing categories. The firm has also won Hong Kong Firm of the Year 2021 in the International Arbitration and the Real Estate & Construction categories. 

In-House Community (previously Asian-Mena In-House Community) canvasses in-house counsel in China, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, South Korea, Philippines, Vietnam, UAE, Thailand, Malaysia, India and South Africa for the annual In-House Community survey. The awards are based on the nominations and testimonials of the in-house counsel survey.

Pinsent Masons also received an honourable mention in South Korea as the Most Responsive International Law Firm, and in South Africa in the International Arbitration category.

Vincent Connor, Head of Pinsent Masons' Hong Kong office said, "I am incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our lawyers and teams have shown across the last twelve months which has been unprecedented and challenging for everyone.  We are truly grateful to our clients for their feedback and to be recognised in the top tier for our International Arbitration and Construction capabilities in Hong Kong.”

Sam Boyling, Co-Head of the firm’s China offices said, “We are honoured to be recognised in China for International Arbitration, Energy and Project, each of which is a major focus for our firm in China and around the world. We are grateful to our clients for the trust that they place in us to support them on their landmark infrastructure and energy projects across the globe, in what has been a very challenging year for them.”
