Andrew Lee, one of the founding members of Hill Dickinson’s Singapore office; and Gina Lee-Wan, co-head of Singapore firm Allen & Gledhill’s maritime and aviation practice; have both made the rankings.
The list of the world’s best maritime lawyers has been compiled by Lloyds List, the shipping journal which has been in publication since 1734.
Others in the top 10 include Reed Smith global shopping practice head Nick J Shaw, and Ince chairman Peter Rogan.
