Conyers Dill & Pearman has maintained its Tier 1 position in corporate and finance, in the updated IFLR1000 guide to the world’s leading financial and corporate law firms.

The firm has also experienced a 60 per cent increase in the number of ranked lawyers, which puts it ahead of other Island firms in terms of the number of ranked corporate lawyers.

IFLR1000 cited Conyer’s work on a number of capital markets transactions, including Myovant Sciences’ $218 million IPO, as well as its strengths in M&A, aircraft securitisations, insurance and shipping.

Narinder Hargun, director & co-chairman, Bermuda office, said: “We are delighted to receive these accolades. Our results in Bermuda and around the globe demonstrate the depth of talent we have at the firm and are testament to the client-first experience our teams provide every day”.

Globally, Conyers has maintained top-tier rankings across several practice categories. Researchers for the IFLR1000 guide commented on the firm’s strengths in investment funds and M&A, noting its involvement in the $4.4 billion privatisation of Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties, which was the largest privatisation for a Hong Kong group.

David Lamb, Partner & co-chairman, Hong Kong office, said: “This year’s rankings further define our position as a leading international law firm. We congratulate all of our practice groups and lawyers on their recognition.”
