The firm’s European Union, competition and procurement team was bestowed with the award at a gala ceremony in London.

Over 120 global and European law firms operating in Europe were reviewed by an independent panel of judges comprising 47 lawyers drawn from multinational businesses and law firms across the world.

The judges recognised ALG’s work in regard to complex competition advisory and merger control work.

Dr Vincent Power, partner and head of ALG’s EU, competition and procurement team, said: “This award is a tribute to our great team and to our clients who have entrusted their cases to us. To have an Irish firm recognised at a European level is a great testament.

“I would like to thank the team for all their hard work particularly over the last few years on some of the most complex competition cases ever seen in Ireland.”
