Hassans international law firm is once again delighted to be ranked No 1 in the independent
directory, Chambers Global 2010. Its stand-alone position further strengthens the firms’
reputation, expertise and quality of service to clients.

Javier Chincotta, Managing Partner at Hassans says, “It gives a certain satisfaction to be
ranked in this way, knowing that the basis of position is dependant upon client interviews. We
constantly strive to achieve excellence in client service and this recognition confirms that
belief.”

Chambers and Partners select firms for rankings based on a 3 step process; submissions put
forward by legal practices; client interviews during the course of research; and their own
database resources.  

In addition to their No1 Ranking, Senior Partner, James Levy QC (pictured) received a ‘Star
Individual’ ranking (the only Gibraltar lawyer to do so). This ranking is given to lawyers with
exceptional recommendations in their field.

Chambers quotes “With a wealth of resources and depth of expertise spanning so many
different areas, it is unsurprising that Hassans' lawyers draw much comparison with London's
leading legal luminaries. Remarked upon for his extensive knowledge, senior partner James
Levy QC has proved an instrumental figure in developing the jurisdiction, and has strong
connections with the local and international legal community. This "tremendously charismatic
and very driven" lawyer's extensive practice includes international joint venture work, private
client work and property transactions.”

James Levy comments ”We are thrilled to once again receive the ranking of No.1 in Gibraltar,
this not only gives a boost to firm morale, but it is also an opportunity to thank our most
valued clients who provided feedback and client testimonials for us on an anonymous basis
and indeed to all the members of the firm.  I am very proud to be at the helm of this firm, so
closely connected to my family for 70 years and whose members I consider to be an
extended family.
