Deacons wins in 2019 Asian-mena Counsel In-House Community Firm of the Year awards

January, 2020 - China

We are delighted to announce Deacons has been awarded multiple accolades in the 2019 Asian-mena Counsel In-House Community Firm of the Year awards.


Each year, the In-House Community canvasses it’s 20,000+ in-house counsel members to ask, “Which law firms do you prefer to use?”, and more importantly “Why?”. 

This is largest and most definitive poll of buyers of legal services, and a record breaking number of in-house lawyers participated in the survey this year. Since it's not a ranking of law firms but rather a 'word of mouth’ from actual buyers of legal services, it demonstrates to potential clients which law firms are genuinely recommended by their peers.

Based entirely on the nominations and testimonials of the in-house counsel surveyed, Deacons has been named "In-House Community: Firm of the Year, 2019" for the following practice areas:


Firm of the Year 2019 - Hong Kong:



  • Compliance/Regulatory

  • Employment

  • Intellectual Property

  • Litigation and Dispute Resolution

  • Taxation

  • Most Responsive Domestic Law Firm


We also received Honourable Mentions in Hong Kong for:



  • Anti-Trust/Competition

  • Corporate and M&A

  • Insurance

  • International Arbitration

  • Real Estate/Construction


Firm of the Year 2019 - China:



  • Intellectual Property


These awards demonstrate Deacons’ impressive reputation among clients and within the wider legal industry. Congratulations to everyone who helped to make this win possible by providing the highest quality legal services to in-house counsels.
