Three Pillsbury lawyers and two of the firm’s practices have been recognized among the Asia-Pacific region’s best in the 2018 Chambers Asia-Pacific guide. Partners Simon Barrett, Paul Jebely and Anthony Raven were all identified as leading lawyers, while the firm also secured practice rankings for Aviation: Finance and Construction.

The firm’s asset finance practice in China, led by Hong Kong office managing partner Paul Jebely, was praised for its acumen handling business and commercial jet transactions on behalf of lessors, financial institutions and airlines in the Aviation: Finance category. Guided by Tokyo Partner Simon Barrett—who was personally recognized for his "in-depth experience and understanding of the customer's practical requirements”–Pillsbury’s Construction practice in Japan was singled out for its “quick responses and global professional network.” And Raven, a leading Tokyo-based project finance practitioner, was hailed as “exceptionally skilled when it comes to crisis management” in the Japan Projects & Energy section.
