Chambers Global 2004: Bell Gully tops firm and individual partner rankings

Bell Gully has come out on top in both firm and individual partner rankings in the annual Chambers Global Guide to the World's Leading Lawyers.

Bell Gully received first place rankings in all three practice areas covered by the guide: Banking and Finance, Corporate/M+A, and Litigation. In addition, more individual Bell Gully partners were ranked than any other New Zealand law firm.

"Nineteen of our partners have been recognised by their peers and clients," says Chairman Matthew Cockram "We are enormously pleased to receive this kind of external endorsement, especially from an independent, research-based publication such as Chambers Global."

Chambers Global is published annually by Chambers and Partners Publishing, London. View online at www.chambersandpartners.co.uk/global.
