Jonathan Lux of MIA Member Ince & Co, has been named ‘Global Shipping & Maritime Lawyer of the Year 2010’ in the Who’s Who Legal Awards.
With the benefit of over 12 years of independent research, Who’s Who Legal used the thousands of nominations it has received from clients and private practice professionals to identify the leading firms and individuals in 31 practice areas, as well as the top firm in over 50 countries and five US states. The winners are formally announced in The International Who’s Who of Business Lawyers 2010, a compendium edition of all the individual Who’s Who Legal publications, released in May and covers 31 practice areas and over 100 countries.
Editor in chief Callum Campbell said, “In a highly competitive field, receiving the Who’s Who Legal Shipping & Maritime Lawyer of the Year Award is an outstanding achievement. Jonathan Lux received more votes from clients and peers worldwide than any other lawyer in our research.
This is the first time he has won the award, and the consistently positive feedback we received from our sources across the globe reflect his exceptional talent and pre-eminence in the field. We have no hesitation in declaring him the leading lawyer in the world for Shipping & Maritime expertise.”
The awards are based on a number of factors, including general feedback received in the ongoing research process, past performance in the research and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour.
In addition to identifying the overall leading firm in more than 50 countries and five US states, the awards also recognise the leading firm and individual in each practice area.
