China Law & Practice Awards 2014 Winners: A night of victory

Over 200 leading legal professionals attended the eighth China Law & Practice Awards last Thursday. For the first time, CLP honoured rising stars across multiple practices and included a new deal category – the TMT deal of the year. In-house participation was also at its highest, with Tencent, Coca-Cola and JP Morgan present to receive their team awards.

Zhong Lun performed strongly, winning three deals as well as the firm of the year awards for Banking & Finance, Real Estate & Construction and Trade. King & Wood Mallesons, the star PRC firm of the night, also received the Regulatory & Compliance firm of the year award, a category which CLP extended to domestic firms for the first time this year. Susan Ning was the lawyer of the year for Competition for the second year in a row. Fangda, last year's PRC firm of the year, once again proved its abilities by scooping three winning deals, M&A, Private Equity and Dispute Resolution.
