Submissions are now open for ALB Asia’s annual 40 Under 40 list, which profiles the most accomplished lawyers in Asia under 40 years of age.

Open to those either working in-house or in law firms, the list will showcase 40 lawyers who are doing high-quality work – for example appearing on important deals, in key disputes and more – and in the process earning accolades from their colleagues, superiors and clients.

To be considered, lawyers should download the form HERE, complete it and email with the subject line 40 Under 40 Submission 2020 to albeditor@thomsonreuters.com by Friday, July 31, 2020.

Note that a submission does not guarantee a place on the list. Additionally, ALB does not have the obligation to explain the inclusion or omission of specific lawyers on the list. Finally, lawyers who have been named in the list previously will not be considered for future lists.

Lawyers need to be permanently based in Asia to qualify. Submissions from mainland China and Australia/New Zealand will, however, not be considered for this list.
