We are delighted to announce that Deacons has won “Civil Litigation Law Firm of the Year 2018”, jointly with an international law firm, at the 17th Annual Macallan Asian Legal Business (ALB) Hong Kong Law Awards, held on 7 September 2018. The ALB Hong Kong Law Awards recognise the excellence and outstanding achievements of Hong Kong's leading law firms and in-house legal teams, as well as the top deals and dealmakers of the past 12 months.
We believe this is genuine recognition of our work and position in the market as a leading litigation practice.

We have represented clients in many complex and high profile cases and public inquiries.
