ALB is proud to announce the opening of nominations for our annual Top 15 Female Lawyers in Asia ranking. This prestigious list recognizes the outstanding achievements and leadership of women shaping the legal landscape across the region. We encourage you to nominate exceptional female lawyers who demonstrate excellence in their practice, commitment to innovation, and dedication to the community. 

We are now accepting submissions for ALB Asia’s Top 15 Female Lawyers until Wednesday, 04 June 2025.

Please note that submission does not guarantee a place on the list, and lawyers need to be admitted to practice law in an Asian jurisdiction and permanently based in Asia. Past and existing achievements, as well as profile of deals/cases handled, clients’ recommendations, and any significant accolades and awards received, will be taken into consideration when making the assessment.

We are celebrating Asia's Top 15 Female Lawyers in the August 2025 issue of the ALB magazine.

We look forward to receiving your nominations soon!
