Last night in London, at the Chambers Europe Awards 2014, Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners was presented an award for excellence as the Russian National Law Firm of the Year.

This is the fourth time the Firm was awarded at the Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence: the Firm had already been recognized previously in 2008, 2011 and 2012.

Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence annually awards the best leading law firms in the world. Competent judges decide the winners based on such indicators as the latest significant achievements, involvement in large projects, strategic development and growth, customer satisfaction level and so forth.

Among other things, the judges have noted the Firm's capabilities arising out of its broad geographic coverage of Russia, the CIS countries, as well as abroad and have also appreciated the fact that the Firm has recently "strongly upgraded its litigation portfolio" and "deals professionally and skillfully in complicated employment and ТМТ matters."

"We are greatly honored to be recognized by Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence. This award once again confirms our team's high professionalism and consolidates our dominant positions in both, national and international markets. Earlier this year the Firm has won another prestigious British award, at that time the leading national law firm has been recognized the best in Europe for the first time ever. I'd like to thank our clients, partners and all the team members for contributing to the Firm's global success and recognition", comments Dmitry Afanasiev of Egorov Puginsky Afanasiev & Partners.
