Four categories appeared for the first time (Islamic Finance, Insurance / Reinsurance, Regulatory & Government, and Restructuring, Insolvency and Bankruptcy), and several others saw significant increases from the 2007 results – the Securitization & Structured Finance category had one Leading Lawyer nomination in 2007, and 10 in 2008. Similarly the Construction, Property & Real Estate category leapt from 2 to 11, and Corporate Governance from 1 to 7. 2008 saw 12 more lawyers from international firms nominated – several in more than one category.
Two of the categories with the most Leading Lawyers (in both this year and last year) were Mergers & Acquisitions and Intellectual Property – M&A and IP have both almost doubled in the number of Leading Lawyers since 2007.
