(CNS): The tenants of Ugland House announced that they had won yet another award yesterday. Maples and Calder has been recognised as the number one offshore law firm for large hedge funds (over $1billion in assets) and the number two offshore law firm for small hedge funds in Absolute Return + Alpha magazine’s 2009 hedge fund service provider survey and what the firm said was one of the fund industry’s more prestigious awards. These two further accolades add to a number of awards which Maples has bagged over the past few months.
"We are always happy to receive unsolicited awards for the quality of our work, especially where they are based on client surveys," Joint Managing Partner Charles Jennings said.
Maples and Calder was recently honoured by another investment fund magazine, HFMWeek, which presented the firm with its US Hedge Fund Service Provider Award for Best Offshore Law Firm at an awards dinner last month. The Hong Kong office also received Asian Investor magazine’s Best Offshore Law Firm award as well as Asian Legal Business magazine’s Offshore Law Firm of the Year awards for Hong Kong and Japan.
Congratulating and thanking the firm’s staff on these honours, Maples and Calder Investment Funds partner David Brooks said "these awards reflect everyone’s continuing hard work."
