Innovative Lawyers Awards Asia-Pacific

The Financial Times is delighted to announce that the seventh Asia-Pacific Innovative Lawyers Awards was again held as a live virtual event.

The event is complimentary to view on demand and we encourage law firms and clients, in-house legal teams and legal service providers alike to watch and find out more about what makes an innovative lawyer in the current climate.
