Eversheds steals four awards at Financial News Legal Awards

Last night International law firm Eversheds won four awards at the Financial News Legal Awards. Eversheds’ triumph was described by Financial News as the ‘big winner of the night’. Eversheds won Law Firm of the Year, Funds Management Team of the Year and Energy Team of the Year. Eversheds’ David Glover won the Partner of the Year award.

The awards were voted for by in-house counsel readers of Financial News. Eversheds beat off competition from Freshfields, Slaughter and May, Ashurst and Weil Gotshal Manges to win the Law Firm of the Year Award.

David Glover won partner of the year for his significant contribution to the market and particularly in relation to advising WNS Holdings Ltd on one of the biggest outsourcing deals in the financial services sector.

Eversheds’ Chief Executive, David Gray, comments: “We are thrilled to receive these accolades, particularly as this was an open vote by in-house counsel - individuals who form our client base. This is a good indication of how favourably we are perceived in the market and endorsement of our expertise as well as our client and sector approach. We were particularly pleased to have won the Funds Management Team of the Year Award for the second year running and to have been recognised for our strong Energy sector capabilities.”
