Law firm Cox Hallett Wilkinson Ltd has achieved Tier 1 status in the latest International Financial Law Review 1000 rankings.

The rankings year-on-year are compiled by a team of specialist legal journalists. First published in 1982, the IFLR is the only publication of its kind to focus on the leading law firms for corporate finance worldwide.

The firm’s managing director, Ernest Morrison, was recognised as “highly regarded”, while senior associates Kathleen Moniz and Janice Gutteridge were described as “rising stars”.

Mr Morrison said: “We are very happy that CHW continues to be internationally recognised in the financial and corporate sectors. Such international recognition is a strong indicator of our first-class capabilities and a reflection on the long hours, hard work and great service delivered by all of our fee earners and support staff at CHW.”
