At the firm, we pride ourselves on attracting and maintaining the best talent in the industry, which in turn ensures we provide a top-class service that our clients expect and deserve. I am very proud of the exceptional work that our International Trusts and Private Client and Litigation teams continue to deliver, and would like to extend my congratulations to all the talented lawyers recognised by Private Client Global Elite this year."  

Inclusion in the directory is just the latest external recognition of the expertise of Mourant lawyers. Other recent highlights include the firm named by eprivateclient as one of the 2022 Top Offshore Law Firms, ranked in Tier 1 - the highest available - for another year.
