About the ILO Client Choice Award

The press release from ILO states:

Established in 2005, the ILO Choice Awards recognise those law firms and partners around the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the qual-ity of their service. The criteria for the awards focus on law firms’ ability to add real value to their clients’ business above and beyond the other players in the market.

The awards recognise the firms and individual partners who excel across the full spec-trum of client service. Firms and partners were assessed on the following criteria: quality of legal advice, value for money, commercial awareness, effective communication, billing transparency, tailored fee structures, response time, sharing of expertise and use of technology.

This year, ILO recognised 252 individual winners across 54 jurisdictions. Winning firms were chosen in 49 jurisdictions worldwide. A complete list of winners is available in the ILO Client Choice Guide 2011 and fully searchable online at www.ClientChoiceAwards.com."
