Ashurst's investment funds practice has been recognised for the fourth time for its expertise in European private debt funds.
The PDI Awards recognise the managers, institutional investors and advisors who were considered by their peers to be the standard bearers of the private debt asset class in 2019. The Awards cover 47 categories across the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Globally, the investment funds practice acted on over 30 substantial fund transactions during 2019.
Piers Warburton, global head of investment funds at Ashurst, commented:
"We are delighted to have been recognised again as Law Firm of the Year, Europe at the Private Debt Investor Awards. It is a great honour to be acknowledged for our expertise by private debt professionals, and it is a testament to our outstanding team that we are receiving this award for the fourth time.
"We had an exceptionally strong year in 2019, having advised market-leading clients on many significant fund formations. We also continued to strengthen and deepen our team across Europe, including by welcoming three new partners to the group - Nicola Hopkins in London, Antonios Nezeritis in Luxembourg and Jasmin Gütle in Munich."
