India's leading law firm Amarchand & Mangaldas won the Asia-Pacific Law Firm of the Year award for 2003-04 on February 12 at a glittering function held in London.
It is one of the most prestigious international awards for law firms given by Legal Business, a publication house for the legal industry.
Cyril Shroff, managing partner, Amarchand & Mangaldas, received the award on behalf of the firm. He told Business Standard, "We are very proud as this is the first time that a law firm from India has got this award."
The Mumbai-based firm got the award amid tough competition from the likes of Freshfields - Asia practice and Morrison and Forster.
Legal Business said that as India's international potential develops still further, Amarchand & Mangaldas is best placed to capitalise on it.
Amarchand & Mangaldas is one of the largest Indian law firms with over 125 lawyers having offices spread across the country.
The awards function, a formal black-tie event with sit-down dinner, was held at the up-market Grosvenor House in London and was attended by representatives of top law firms in the world. Says a lawyer in Mumbai, "These awards are almost like the Oscars in the legal profession."
