Allens wins Client Awards

13 March 2008

Leading international law firm, Allens Arthur Robinson (Allens) has won the 'Best Professional Services Firm' (revenue over $200 million) and 'Best Law Firm' (revenue over $100 million) awards in the annual BRW Client Choice Awards.

This is the third time in four years that the firm has won both awards, and Allens is the only firm to have won the 'Best Professional Services Firm' (revenue over $200 million) category three times.

The Client Choice awards are based on independent research conducted by research firm Beaton Consulting with clients across various professional services industries, including Australia's leading legal, accounting, consulting, engineering and design sectors.

The research sample this year included over 30,000 respondents.

The firm's Managing Partner, Michael Rose, said the awards showed the firm's clients recognised and appreciated its approach to client relationships and technical excellence.

'Everyone in our firm has an important role to play in serving our clients and influencing the way our clients see us, and we are committed to further measure and improve our service,' Mr Rose said.

'We view our client service as the relationship – the value is in the professional relationship,' he said.

'Clients know that we are committed to a long-term perspective and common context with them.

'And we would like to thank our clients for the goodwill they have shown us through these awards.'

Since the Client Choice Awards commenced in 2005, Allens has won:

Best Professional Services Firm (revenue over $200 million) - 2005, 2006 and 2008
Best Large Law Firm (revenue over $100 million) – 2005, 2006 and 2008.

Allens has offices in 14 cities and eight countries across the Australasian region, and advises more than half of Australia's top 100 public and private companies, and around 25 of the world's largest companies.
