Salans has been awarded a Special Distinction in the Best European Law Firm award category at
the 2009 International Legal Alliance Summit & Awards ("ILASA").
General Counsels of Fortune 500 companies revealed the names of law firms recognised for their
achievements across a number of categories as chosen by a panel of General Counsels and Senior
Financial Executives. Salans was recognised for its distinctive approach to working with clients
and its innovative management and approach towards billing.
Speaking after the awards ceremony in Paris, Co-Head of the Salans Global Corporate Group Paul
Morel commented, "This special award proves in a very effective way the appetite of clients for our
values and work methods. We also emphasised Salans' awareness of itself as an enterprise in the
legal business and its resulting sensitivity to corporate strategic stakes. Being distinguished for
exemplifying these values is a very positive and encouraging message."
The ILASA is an annual event to bring together the leading players in the legal industry, from
both corporates and private practice, across more than 40 countries and recognise the best
performers of the year.
