Award recognition ABL recently earned multiple prestigious recognitions including 2027 Best Lawyers Law Firm of the Year for tax law and Band 1 private wealth in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, signaling strong credibility that can be leveraged in upsell conversations with high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients seeking top-tier legal advisory.

Pro bono footprint The firm’s dedicated pro bono practice advising 150+ charitable and not-for-profit organizations presents an opportunity to offer complementary services or explore strategic partnerships with social impact clients, potentially expanding relationships to broader corporate or philanthropic accounts.
