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.

The awards are based on the nominations and testimonials of the in-house counsel survey.

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.”

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.”
