PLN Lawyers Sydney is proud to announce that it is the winner of a 2009 NSW Exporter of the Year Award, in the category of "outstanding export achievement in a recognized services industry, sales under $15 million per year." The Award was presented by NSW Premier Nathan Rees, at a ceremony in Sydney on 28 October. The Award is judged under the auspices of the Australian Institute of Export.

As the winner of a 2009 NSW Exporter of the Year Award, PLN Lawyers is now a finalist in the national competition for an Australian Exporter of the Year Award. The national awards will be presented on 20 November 2009 in Canberra by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.

”This win is a credit to the great people in PLN's Pacific-wide affiliated offices for their excellent legal services and help in promoting and facilitating foreign investment into and around the region” commented PLN Lawyers' Managing Partner John Ridgway.

“The 2009 NSW Exporter of the Year Award is a culmination of much hard work and is reflective of PLN's passion for the region and the depth of its relationship with its affiliates and other service providers across the Pacific”.

”This Award also highlights the growing importance of the Pacific islands economies as vital to Australia's export and investment efforts. PLN Lawyers strives to remind Australian exporters and investors of the great opportunities that exist in the Pacific. I believe these opportunities are ever increasing”.

Since the founding of PLN Lawyers only five years ago, there have been landmark increases in competition in many industries, with telecommunications services and aviation being two main examples. PLN is proud to provide legal help to its dynamic and growing clients, both large and small, who are at work in building a vital economic future for Pacific islands nations and the people who live there.

For now, PLN Lawyers is "off to the nationals” in Canberra on the 20th November 2009!
