Bedell Cristin has been named ‘International Law Firm of the Year’ in the Citywealth Magic Circle Awards 2013.

Anthony Dessain, senior partner at Bedell Cristin, was presented with the Award by broadcaster Andrew Neil at a black tie event in London on Thursday 16th May.  The event was attended by nearly 400 leading lawyers, wealth managers and private client advisers.

Now firmly established in the wealth calendar having been launched seven years ago, the Awards are designed to recognise the achievements of the private wealth industry during the past year. Winners were selected by an independent panel of leading practitioners, who were looking for evidence of innovation, expertise, achievement and high levels of service, and through an online survey.

Bedell Group Managing Partner, Richard Gerwat, said:

“This award recognises our continuing commitment to developing our services to achieve successful long term relationships with our clients.  Over many years, we have developed a reputation for service excellence and continue to provide client-led services with deep industry knowledge.  We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the clients and intermediaries who voted for us during the award process.”

Citywealth is an international networking and media firm based in London, which targets high net worth clients, their advisers and managers in the wealth management sector.

The latest Citywealth Award win follows further recent award success for Bedell Cristin, including its Guernsey office being named Offshore Law Firm of the Year in the UK Captive Service Awards 2013, being shortlisted in the Offshore Law Firm of the Year category of the Asian Legal Business SE Asia Law Awards 2013, and two Partners being shortlisted for the ‘Best in Offshore’ category in Euromoney’s Europe Women in Business Law Awards. The firm’s commercial litigation service and the expertise of its BVI and Jersey offices have also been recognised by industry media group awards this year.
