At the annual PMR awards ceremony held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Rosebank, Johannesburg, Fairbridges was awarded the coveted Diamond Arrow Award for 2009 as the top-rated law firm in its category, and the overall winner in all categories countrywide.
The prestigious Professional Management Review (PMR) survey of top legal firms is conducted by an independent research team which sources ratings from hundreds of in-house corporate lawyers, financial directors, chief executive officers, company secretaries and other senior managers, randomly selected from a comprehensive database of the top companies in South Africa.
Fairbridges has featured as one of the top firms in its category, the largest category, for the past three years, scoring 4.10 (out of a possible 5) in 2006, improving to 4.14 in 2007, rising to 4.19 in 2008, and now achieving in 2009 the top rating of 4.48! Our score was rated "outstanding".
Law firms were assessed overall across a range of attributes, including:
- Quality of service / attitude
