Managing Partner at Macau law firm MdME, Rui Pinto Proença, has again been named a Band 1 lawyer in Chamber and Partners’ annual rankings of gaming lawyers in Asia-Pacific – one of only three people to achieve the ranking in 2023.
Proença was joined in Band 1 by Jamie Nettleton of Australia’s Addisons and Kok Keng Lau of Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP. He was also one of two MdME representatives to feature in this year’s rankings, with Partner Carlos Coelho on the Up & Coming list.
London-based Chamber and Partners covers 41 jurisdictions including large markets such as Macau, Australia, India, Japan and Singapore plus smaller jurisdictions such as Myanmar and Mongolia.
Individual lawyers are ranked in their practice-area on the basis of their legal knowledge and experience, their ability, their effectiveness and their client-service, including such assets as speed, responsiveness, clear business language and decisive opinions.
Band 1 is the highest achievement possible by an individual lawyer or a law firm under the rankings system.
“We are delighted that our Gaming experts have excelled in the 2024 Chambers and Partners: Asia-Pacific: Gaming & Gambling lawyer rankings,” MdME told Inside Asian Gaming.
“We’re immensely proud of our team for achieving this recognition and featuring as the only Macau law firm on this list.”
