In-House Community Magazine: Feb 2023 issue including Firms of the Year 2022 Results

March 1, 2023

The interactive edition of the Feb 2023 issue of In-House Community (IHC) Magazine is now live (below). In this issue, we share the results of our IHC survey for 2022. We heard from in-house counsel hailing from 18 different jurisdictions on their current management of legal work and key concerns for the coming year. Most importantly, however, we share our respondents’ picks for Firms of the Year, 2022! Moving on to our usual fare, we are reminded that there are few certainties in life – evolving regulatory frameworks seemingly one of them! We take a look at a revamp of Vietnam’s financial markets to protect investors and simplify administrative processes (VILAF). The antitrust landscape in China is likewise facing a shake-up. We hear about the first revisions to the jurisdiction’s Anti-Monopoly Law since its implementation 14 years ago (Tian Yuan Law Firm). Over in Philippines, further ‘landscape-changing’ legislative and regulatory reforms were passed in 2022, promising renewed investment opportunities (Villaraza & Angangco). Staying in Southeast Asia, we delve into rapidly developing intellectual property laws reflective of the region’s importance as a growing ‘hub for innovation and creativity’ (LindaWang Su & Boo). SPECIAL FEATURE We chat with Ira Eddymurthy of SSEK Law Firm on their 30th anniversary of operation. We hear a little about where they’ve been as well as about their brand refresh as they set their sights on the next 30 years and beyond! We also cover last month’s top deals, partner level moves, and latest legal industry news. We hope you enjoy the issue. For any feedback, Q&A opportunities, article or advert booking in our upcoming issues,...

In-House Community Counsel of the Year, 2021 – Awards and Results

July 18, 2022

Taking pause to recognise and celebrate our award-winning in-house teams in Asia, Middle East and South Africa as they continue to inspire, despite all odds Shortlisted In-House Counsel In our write up of the In-House Community Counsel of the Year Awards, 2020, we envisioned that in “2021 we [would] come to look at the activities of individual lawyers and also departments during and post-crisis”. Little did we anticipate the pervasive disruptive force that COVID-19 would be, being very much still part and parcel of the present. Be that as it may, on 15 June 2022 – better late than never – we had the great pleasure of welcoming our community back to the In-House Community Counsel of the Year Awards, to recognise the standout efforts in-house teams and counsel made in 2021, with special mention given to external counsel that, too, left a mark. As has come to be the “new normal” given the prevailing pandemic, our In-House Community team arranged for this year’s awards ceremony to be conducted over Zoom. This allowed us to have in attendance 90+ representatives of both in-house and private practice from several jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, UAE, Australia, South Korea, India, UK, South Africa, and Canada – a truly global event, albeit remote! We thank all of you that took the time to participate in this awards process, to recognise the hard work of our community, to celebrate their successes, and to take inspiration from their winning visions.
