London, United Kingdom – The International Law Office (ILO) has announced the winning
partners and firms for the ILO Client Choice Awards 2012 at a gala dinner held at One Great
George Street in London. Uniquely, these awards survey senior corporate counsel only, with this
year’s winners chosen from a pool of more than 2.000 individual client assessments.
Established in 2005, the ILO Client Choice Awards recognise those law firms and partners around
the world that stand apart for the excellent client care they provide and the quality of their service.
The criteria for the awards focus on the law firms’ ability to add real value to their clients’ business
above and beyond the other players in the market.
The awards recognize the firms and the individual partners that excel across the full spectrum of
client service. Firms and partners were assessed on the following criteria: quality of legal advice,
value for money, commercial awareness, effective communication, billing transparency, tailored fee
structures, response time, sharing of expertise and use of technology.
This year, ILO recognised 303 individual winners across 55 jurisdictions. Winning forms were
chosen in 56 jurisdictions worldwide. A complete list of winners is available in the ILO Client
Choice Guide 2012 and fully searchable online at

“Tonucci & Partners was the exclusive winner of the overall award for Italy”
This important award was assigned by authorized experts to a firm that actually, opposing and
against the general global economic trend, experiences constant and fast growth. There were
hundreds of guests and participants at the event, coming from law firms all over the world. Partners
representing Tonucci & Partners' Italian and foreign offices attended the event.
