LONDON, 11 June, 2009 — The Litigation Consulting unit of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV), a leading provider of e-discovery and computer forensics services, extends its congratulations to the law firms from 21 jurisdictions throughout the UK and Europe who were nominated for the prestigious Chambers Europe Awards for Excellence. First Advantage, a sponsor of the awards event, especially congratulates Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, named both the UK and German Law Firm of the Year, and Clifford Chance LLP, named the overall European Law Firm of the Year. The complete list of recipients can be found at http://www.chambersandpartners.com/Awards.aspx.
“Chambers & Partners is the gold standard for research of the world’s leading law firms, in large part because their appraisal is based on interviews with the firm’s clients,” said Robert Brown, vice president of Eurasia operations, who heads First Advantage’s Litigation Consulting London office. “Having worked with 50 of the top 100 global firms, we understand that supporting the world’s largest companies requires consistently providing the highest level of client service. We welcome every opportunity to recognize the efforts of our partners in the international legal community that strive for greatness, and we applaud these top achievers.”
An independent survey of 22,000 corporate in-house counsel conducted by International Inhouse Counsel Journal in September 2008 found that 51 percent relied on Chambers more than any other legal directory. Nominees for The Chambers Awards for Excellence are based on recommendations from in-house counsel, as well as on a law firm's pre-eminence in key practice areas. The awards reflect notable achievements over the past 12 months, including outstanding work, impressive strategic growth and excellence in client service.
