Carey Olsen has held its position as the only offshore law firm to be recognised in the top 10 firms advising London Stock Market (LSE) clients, according to the most recent (August 2014) Corporate Advisers Rankings Guide produced by Adviser Rankings.
The law firm has retained its position, both as the number four legal adviser to LSE list clients and as the top ranked offshore law firm, acting for 91 LSE clients.
This total includes: 44 AIM clients, 25 Small Cap/Fledgling clients, 10 FTSE 250 clients and three FTSE 100 clients (plus nine others).
The firm is the highest ranked in the Small Cap/Fledgling table and moved up to second in the AIM table. The Guide links its move to number two in the AIM table to its ‘Offshore Firm of the Year’ award win by The Lawyer magazine, described as “yet another nod to the firm’s specialist expertise in this area.”
For the very first time the results now include the leading law firms by total number of UK stock market clients in the eight main FTSE Sectors. These rankings confirm that Carey Olsen advises the highest number of clients within the UK financial sector, at 61.
