Spoor & Fisher voted top IP law firm in South Africa
|
18/02/2008
|
For the fourth year in a row, Spoor & Fisher has received the Professional Management Review’s (PMR) top award in the Specialist Law Firm category as rated by their corporate clients.
PMR is an independent research-based periodical and its annual survey assesses the top legal firms in South Africa. The firms in contention for the awards were rated by a random, national sample of in-house corporate lawyers, financial directors, MDs, CEOs, company secretaries and other senior managers.
“Spoor & Fisher views the PMR award as an accolade of which we can be justifiably proud” commented Carl van Rooyen, “especially as the assessment has been made by people with a real-world view of the firm, based on their interaction with us. Winning the award for four consecutive years also indicates that this is not the result of a short-term service improvement drive, but rather the product of a consistent approach. The S&F team strives to maintain the highest possible standards of professional service – and we will certainly continue to do so, not to win an award, but simply because that is what our clients are entitled to expect from us.”
