IFLR 2016 recognises Deacons across 9 practice areas

We are pleased to announce that Deacons has achieved a strong result in the International Financial Law Review (IFLR) 1000 rankings for 2016.

A Euromoney publication, the IFLR 1000 provides tiered rankings of the leading financial and corporate law firms for different regions, markets and practice areas, accompanied by analysis of the market trends and the business environment.

During the exhaustive research process for the 2016 edition IFLR1000 spoke with over 2,025 firms  and reached out to 39,894 clients at financial institutions, corporations and other private practice firms.

Deacons features in rankings for Hong Kong in Banking and Finance, Capital Markets: Equity, Capital Markets: Debt, Financial Services Regulatory, Hedge Funds, Retail Funds, M&A, Private Equity and Restructuring & Insolvency. We are delighted to have consistently featured in Tier 1 for Retail Funds in particular.

This year, clients praised the firm as “professional and commercial with great management skills, and able to dedicate time, resources and effort as promised to undertake projects to completion and our satisfaction.”

The editorial further described the firm as “at the forefront when dealing with matters in the investment funds industry,”; “a very strong retail funds practice that accounts for 70% of the market,”; “a solid hedge funds and private equity practice and an important player in the Mandatory Pension Fund sector.”
