After spending sometime in this industry you eventually realise that the integrity of international awards is often compromised. Brands and agencies sometimes win top awards even if they contributed nothing to the actual initiative. For developing countries it’s mostly about skewed case building that taps into the personal biases of (western) juries (and reverse funding). It’s scary how certain lobbies have so much control over global perceptions. Makes one wonder what if a similar formula is applied in the real world, potentially to wreak geopolitical havoc, or even to commit genocide?

Hi Jess, you identified Cyber Security as an area of interest years before it became the 'hot' topic it is today. Your learning and experience over the years has led to the thoroughly deserved recognition that this nomination brings. Well done!

Paul Drechsler political and economic guest of honor at this last #Patrons dinner organized by the French Chamber of Great Britain in which I had the pleasure of participating, devoted himself in a passionate presentation to an in-depth analysis of the very complex social and economic situation in the #UK 🇬🇧 while highlighting the country's strengths and opportunities for the future. He therefore set out to describe what could happen if #Labor passed in the next elections which should take place this fall. #Labor is in fact perhaps the only socialist party in #Europe placed in such a strong situation, preparing to govern with a majority which promises to be very large but which will have to demonstrate boldness as well as goodness meaning to succeed in your bet. #Brexit, which is undoubtedly the major factor in the deterioration of the British economy, and at the origin of numerous convulsions experienced by the country, should not make us forget that this break with 🇪🇺 was part of a period of severe turbulence. At the start of 2024, numerous reports are emerging on the economic situation of the country 4 years after its exit from the European Union, the question being to see to what extent the experts' forecasts have been confirmed in terms of growth, exports and foreign investments. A subject to which Paul Drechsler returned numerous times during the evening, encouraging the members of the chamber who, obviously also chose the United Kingdom 🇬🇧to develop, or establish their activities there due to the attractiveness and strong potential of the country, to be able to share their positive experiences despite a context and a significantly degraded GDP due to the poor results for the year 2023. If we hear these pro #business arguments developed with talent and conviction by Paul Drechsler, the fact remains that for these French investments 🇫🇷 (and others) to persist and gain followers, it seems inevitable for the United Kingdom to define national regulations in the law of derived from Community legislation so as not to close the doors to the European market. If #Brexit is obviously synonymous with a break with the #EU, the principle of reality with which the country now faces will implicitly force it to adopt a strategy of continuity with the other states of the Union, including #France who occupies a privileged position. A huge thank you to Paul Drechsler for his explanations and to the French Chamber of Great Britain for choosing this debate at the right momentum.

Every lawyer's #awardseason, when Chambers and Partners releases their annual #global rankings, we always have a difficult task ahead of us. Which quote, which Chambers considers represents our firm (and is generously provided by our clients) should we include in our social media posts? Is it the general for our firm "They always respond within short notice and are very pragmatic" that goes hand in hand with our #Band1 #Corporateandcommercial ranking? Or the specific for our four ranked lawyers? This year, we gave caution to the wind and said, we're gonna include them all! 📣 Aleš Rojs is well respected for his longstanding expertise in cross-border M&A transactions. 📣 Grega Peljhan (Band 1) "Grega Peljhan is very prolific." 📣 Bojan Sporar (Band 2) "He is smart and responsive, and has a common-sense approach to solving all matters amicably." 📣Sergej Omladič (Band 3) "Sergej Omladič is extremely reliable, detail-oriented and understands the bigger picture." Ooh, and we sneaked an extra one into the picture. #thankyou to our #clients for their feedback and continued trust they put in our services. And congratulations to our whole team; as with any achievement it is always a team effort. P.S. Just imagine the trouble we'll have deciding when the Europe Rankings are out. https://lnkd.in/dDDJz2DT
