The IFN Deals of the Year was established in 2006 and recognizes those who have participated in the industry’s most groundbreaking transactions each year. Financial institutions and intermediaries are invited to submit their chosen transactions from the previous 12 months, which fall under one of the carefully selected sectors. A panel of experts from non-competing organizations then sieve through all submissions during the elimination process until just one transaction in each category remains and is thus awarded the winner of that category.

Submissions are accepted during the month of December with the results announced during the first week of January

Launched in 2011, the IFN Law Poll builds on the highly regarded IFN Leading Lawyers which was launched in 2008. Focusing on the Law firms, rather than the individuals as with the Leading Lawyers, the IFN Law Poll provides an annual guide to which legal entities are recognized amongst their clients and peers as the best in certain categories. Polling will take place during April and May with the results being published annually in the July IFN Legal Report. Polling forms are sent to in-house counsel and senior industry practitioners worldwide. They are then asked to provide their views on which firms they believe provide a superior service in the categories they have experience. After a lengthy due diligence process the results are published in Islamic Finance news.
