The awards, which are now in their tenth year, recognise achievement and contribution within the real estate funds industry.
The Affiliate of the Year category is one of four awards to be presented by AREF and recognises the invaluable support affiliate member firms have provided the association. It is judged on a number of measures including significant activity in a key area, hosting of events, or consistent contribution to AREF affairs.
For Carey Olsen, the firm's shortlisting follows its exclusive sponsorship of AREF's FutureGen Network Educational Series for the past three years, which has also included providing a number of speakers and moderators for the events.
Winners of Affiliate of the Year; the AREF Research Awards; Investors' Award for Outstanding Achievement; and Outstanding Individual Contribution Award will be announced on Friday 22 October.
