We are delighted to have achieved another year of great rankings in the Legal 500.
This year we’ve ranked in eight practice areas across our Business and Personal services (including Corporate and Commercial, Commercial Litigation, Employment, Commercial Property, Family, Contentious Probate, Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate and Clinical Negligence and Personal Injury: Claimant) and 20 solicitors have been recommended for their work.
Paul Joyce, Managing Partner said: “What is pleasing is the testimonials given to the researchers at the Legal 500 by our clients whom we’ve worked with over the past 12 months, and the numerous comments made about our level of experience, knowledge and expertise across our teams. This is a great credit to our teams, who continue to support our clients and provide the best possible service at all times, even through a pandemic.”
