Who’s Who Legal | May 2018
Lee Plave of US firm Plave Koch was recognized as the WWL Franchise Lawyer of the Year 2018 at the WWL Awards in London on 8 May.
The winners were announced at a black-tie Awards Ceremony at Plaisterers Hall in London. Over 230 guests, including some of the leading lawyers and representatives of the leading law firms in the world, were present as the award winners for 35 practice areas and over 70 countries were recognised.
The winners are selected on a range of factors, including feedback received from clients and peers in the research process, past performance in the research and the overall aggregate number of weighted votes cast in their favour.
Rupert Wilson, editor of Who’s Who Legal, said: “Mr. Plave has demonstrated exceptional capability in the franchising market, obtaining more recommendations than any other practitioner in our most recent research. This award is merely confirmation of his already pre-eminent position in the field.”
Who’s Who Legal lists only the leading lawyers in each field, based exclusively on the findings of an independent six-month research process that encompasses feedback from private practitioners, clients and other experts in the sector.
