With seven of our lawyers and nine of our legal teams being ranked in the guide
We are thrilled to have once more received top tier recommendations in the Legal 500 UK Guide. The rankings and recommendations are announced following a rigorous process of assessment by specialist independent researchers involving client and peer feedback.
This year seven of our lawyers and nine of our legal teams have been ranked in the guide:
- Andrew Cave (Crime) and Henry Anstey (Wills, Trusts & Probate) have both been entered into the ‘Hall of Fame’.
- Farhana Butt (Family) and Paddy Appleton (Wills, Trusts & Probate) have been recognised as ‘Leading Individuals’.
- Hannah Byatt (Family) has been ranked as a ‘Next Generation Partner’.
- Kashif Khan (Crime) and Rebecca Beynon-Phillips (Dispute Resolution) have been awarded ‘Leading Associate’ status.
- In addition to this a further twelve lawyers have been recognised as ‘Key Lawyers’ in their field.
Our Crime team received a Top Tier ranking with our Family and Wills, Trusts & Probate teams both achieving Tier 2.
This is an outstanding result for the firm and a credit to each individual and the teams that support them. Well done to everyone involved.
