Cavinder Bull, SC and Blossom Hing clinch Lexology Index’s worldwide Lawyer of the Year Awards 2024 08 Nov 2024 Drew & Napier is pleased to announce that our lawyers have won two global awards at the Lexology Index Awards 2024 held in London, formerly known as the Who’s Who Legal awards. Our Chief Executive Officer Cavinder Bull, SC won the global award for Commercial Litigation Lawyer of the Year. Director Blossom Hing has been named Restructuring & Insolvency Lawyer of the Year. These global awards affirm Drew & Napier’s international standing. Held at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel on 7 November 2024, these awards are known to celebrate lawyers’ exceptional contributions to the legal profession on an international scale, across all jurisdictions. This recognition of Cavinder as ‘Commercial Litigation Lawyer of the Year’ comes on the back of significant successes in cases like the more than US$1 billion claim brought by a former Prime Minister of Georgia against Credit Suisse Trust, and securing a US$3.5 billion judgment for fraudulent trading against the former directors of the prominent oil trading firm, Hin Leong Trading. Blossom is a Director for the Corporate Restructuring & Workouts practice who also has an active Court practice mainly focused on insolvency litigation. Lexology Index’s award for ‘Restructuring & Insolvency Lawyer of the Year’ comes quickly on the heels of her being awarded as one of the Top 15 Female Lawyers in Asia in 2024. Blossom was also named as one of Asia’s top 50 most highly recommended arbitration and litigation practitioners in ALB’s Asia Super 50 Disputes Lawyers in 2021. In 2020, Blossom also won the Woman Lawyer of the Year (Law Firm) in the 2020 ALB SE Asia Law Awards. .
