This year's ALB SE Asia Law Awards promises to be the biggest and best yet, with the event growing in stature and popularity throughout the business community. Don't miss what's been described by many as "the biggest and most glamorous night of the year for the legal industry", where top law firms mix and mingle with corporate counsel, CEO's, investment bankers and other influential corporate leaders as the winners across all categories are announced.

The release of this year's list of finalists has been keenly anticipated, with firms of all sizes looking forward to seeing in which categories they and their competition have made the cut. Given the peer-based nature of the awards - finalist nominations are the result of an extensive research process based largely on comprehensive surveys of the legal community  recognition in each of these categories is particularly prestigious as it reflects the opinion of the wider legal community.

Among the big finalists are Allen & Gledhill, which took home nominations across 17 categories, Drew & Napier which drew 13, Linklaters and Rodyk & Davidson which received eight, and firms such as WongPartnership and Rajah & Tann which drew seven each.

But along with the big players, the field of nominees also includes a number of first-timers, which reflects the growing number of specialist and boutique firms that have successfully carved out their niche in the burgeoning Southeast Asian arena. This includes a number of newcomers to the various countries' Deal Firm of the Year categories, reflecting the vigour of nations such as Vietnam which are opening their economies to entrepreneurial dealmaking.
