LONDON – The American Lawyer on Thursday announced winners of its new Transatlantic Legal Awards, created this year to highlight noteworthy lawyers and firms in transatlantic matters involving corporate, finance and litigation work. The awards also underscore law firm innovation, commitment to pro bono, outstanding transatlantic strategy, rising stars under 40 and notable in-house lawyers.

“These lawyers and their firms should be very proud of their achievements because the competition was stiff,” said Kim Kleman, editor-in-chief of The American Lawyer. “Thriving transatlantic work has been key to law firm prosperity.”
