Last night, at the Four Seasons Hotel in Singapore, The Asian Lawyer announced the winners for its second annual Emerging Markets Awards. As promised, here's a full list of those winners and the reasons why they stood out in a highly competitive crowd. Again, we're enormously grateful to all the firms that participated.
Energy Lawyer of the Year
Freshfields' Gavin MacLaren earned the Energy Lawyer of the Year award for his work advising Hess Corp. on the $12 billion North Malay project in Malaysia in which the energy company is investing along with Petronas, Malaysia's national oil and gas company, and its upstream arm Petronas Carigali. The project makes it possible to process gas from multiple upstream assets that are not under common ownership, which required that MacLaren design unique facility-sharing arrangements and harmonize existing joint venture and gas sales contracts. The project is being developed in two phases, the second of which will launch in 2017.
