ALB Asia Top 50 Largest Law Firms 2024
ABOUT
In an era of global uncertainty, the legal industry in Asia is experiencing significant shifts, with the size and scale of law firms becoming crucial factors in their ability to serve clients effectively.
In an era marked by global uncertainty and economic volatility, the legal industry in Asia is experiencing significant shifts. As businesses navigate complex regulatory environments and cross-border transactions, the size and scale of law firms have become increasingly important factors in their ability to effectively serve clients. This November, ALB Asia presents its annual Top 50 list, ranking the region's largest law firms by headcount – a metric that offers valuable insights into the evolving legal landscape of Asia.
The 2024 ALB Asia Top 50 list serves as a barometer for the health and dynamism of the legal sector in the region. As geopolitical tensions rise and economic headwinds persist, clients are seeking law firms with the resources, expertise, and geographical reach to handle multifaceted legal challenges. In this context, size often translates to strength, enabling firms to offer a comprehensive suite of services across multiple jurisdictions and practice areas.
However, the advantages of scale come with their own set of challenges. Larger firms must strive to maintain consistent quality standards, preserve their unique culture, and ensure personalised service across sprawling networks of offices. The firms that succeed in balancing these elements are best positioned to thrive in an increasingly competitive market.
One such firm that has successfully navigated the complexities of growth is Allen & Gledhill, Singapore's largest law firm. Jerry Koh, the managing partner of Allen & Gledhill, shares valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of operating at scale in the Asian legal market.
Koh highlights the unique position of his firm, stating, “As the largest law firm in Singapore, comprising lawyers who are considered thought leaders in their respective fields, our firm is uniquely positioned to provide clients with premium legal advice across multiple jurisdictions and practice areas.”
The breadth of expertise at Allen & Gledhill is noteworthy, with over 30 practice areas staffed by specialists ready to tackle complex, cross-border matters. Koh notes, “Our specialists across diverse practice areas regularly work together in multi-disciplinary teams across our offices and network known as A&G Asia. They are therefore also fully equipped to advise on intricate, cross-border matters that span multiple legal disciplines.”
This ability to deliver comprehensive, high-quality solutions for complex legal matters is a key advantage of the firm's size and scale. However, maintaining consistency across a large organisation presents its own difficulties. Koh explains how Allen & Gledhill addresses this: “Our regional offices also comprise local lawyers who are familiar with the business environments and practices of their respective jurisdictions and are fully supported by our extensive network across Asia's major economies, ensuring that the advice we provide is based on sound local knowledge along with the high standards of excellence that is synonymous with our firm.”
The firm also employs innovative strategies to maintain its culture and foster connections among its staff. “We have in place initiatives and organise firmwide events throughout the year to help our colleagues get to know one another better,” Koh says. These include retreats, firm trips, sporting events, and even a house system that promotes interaction between colleagues who might not otherwise have much contact.
As the legal landscape continues to evolve, Allen & Gledhill is positioning itself to meet future challenges and opportunities. Koh identifies several key trends shaping the future of Singapore's legal market, including digital transformation, the growing importance of sustainability, and the rise in cross-jurisdictional work.
On the topic of digital transformation and artificial intelligence, Koh notes, “We set up an AI Task Force awhile back to determine the impact of AI on our clients and how we can harness its potential to improve the way we work.” The firm has made significant strides in this area, and has become one of the pioneering organisations to support a nationwide AI Governance Framework.
Sustainability is another area of focus for the firm. “ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) considerations have become integral to how businesses operate and how governments set policies,” Koh explains. The firm's multi-disciplinary approach allows it to comprehensively address these complex issues.
Looking ahead, Koh sees the increasing interconnectedness of global markets as a key driver of change in the legal industry. “Growing connectivity, the rapid adoption of AI, and increasing awareness of ESG issues have resulted in Governments across the world implementing regulations and frameworks to ensure that their economies remain robust, transparent, as well as sustainable,” he observes.
This trend toward increased cross-border work has informed Allen & Gledhill's expansion strategy. “We have long recognised this rise in cross-border work, which is why we have expanded our regional capabilities through the opening of new offices,” Koh states, “This has not only allowed us to better serve clients who have interest in those jurisdictions, but also opened up new markets in two of the largest economies in the Asia Pacific Region to us.”
As the legal landscape in Asia continues to evolve, firms like Allen & Gledhill demonstrate that size and scale, when managed effectively, can provide significant advantages in serving clients and navigating complex legal challenges. However, success in this environment requires more than just size; it demands adaptability, innovation, and a commitment to maintaining quality and culture across expanding networks. Koh emphasises this point, stating, “To better serve the needs of our clients, we have been closely monitoring market trends and opportunities to ensure that we continue to meet their diverse and evolving needs.”
The ALB Asia Top 50 list serves as a testament to the dynamism and resilience of the region's legal sector. As firms continue to grow and adapt to meet the changing needs of their clients, they will play an increasingly crucial role in shaping the economic and legal landscape of Asia in the years to come. Koh's outlook reflects this sentiment: “By identifying and leveraging on these latest trends, we believe we can maintain our position as a market leader and continue delivering excellent legal services to our clients in Singapore, and across Asia.”
METHODOLOGY
METHODOLOGY
Our Research
Our rankings are based on the following metrics:
- Data collection period. Firms will be contacted between May and August 2024 to provide up-to-date numbers for partners and lawyers operating in their Asian offices.
- Response protocol. If a firm fails to submit or does not respond to requests for numbers, we will source the figures from alternative resources. This may include the firm’s website, information from recognised Law Society resources, or data from their submission from the previous year. ALB accepts no responsibility for the accuracy of information published on any law firm’s website.
- Criteria for inclusion. Only those lawyers and partners physically based in Asia will be counted in the rankings.
- Geographical scope. The research focuses solely on firms with presence in Asia, excluding any coverage for firms based in Australia and New Zealand.
