Eversheds ECM team wins AIM Lawyer of the Year at Growth Company Awards

International law firm Eversheds has been named AIM Lawyer of the Year 2010 at the Growth Company Awards.

The award, which saw Eversheds shortlisted alongside DLA Piper, Dundas & Wilson CS, Memery Crystal, SJ Berwin and Stephenson Harwood, was judged on independent feedback and scores given by clients and other advisers. Not only did the firm top the legal category, but was also the highest scoring category in the awards.

Eversheds partner Chris Halliday who collected the award on behalf of the firm's Equity Capital Markets team comments:

"This is fantastic recognition for the team, particularly as this is the second year in succession that we have received this award. This award demonstrates that, despite the downturn in market activity, our ECM team continues to be a market leading practice."

The Growth Company Awards are now in their 10th year and are undertaken by Growth Company Investor magazine. For more information about the awards visit http://www.growthcompanyawards.com/gca/index.thtml.
