The honoured lawyers were selected largely based on recommendations sent directly to ALB from clients, including in-house counsel and other decision makers. Most notably, Huy Quang became the first Vietnamese lawyer to make the list, which covers a total of 13 jurisdictions.

ALB, a Thomson Reuters publication, is widely considered to be a world-renowned source of information that can be used by both businesses and legal professionals.

This is not the first time that Huy Quang has risen to prominence. The lawyer became the first Vietnamese citizen to win the ALB’s “Regional Managing Partner of the Year” back in 2018.

He is also in contention to win the “Lawyer of the Year" title as selected by the Benchmark Litigation Award of the UK, with the results set to be announced on May 27.
