Lanyon Bowdler maintains strong rankings in legal ‘bible’
A Shropshire law firm has retained its top tier ranking in two categories in the latest edition of the “industry bible”, Legal 500.
Lanyon Bowdler has been recommended in 13 practice areas of the prestigious guide with tier-one recognition once again awarded in the legal fields of clinical negligence and agriculture and estates.
The firm is also celebrating 17 recommended lawyers in the guide, eight leading partners, five next generation partners and three leading associates - with testimonials supporting Lanyon Bowdler’s entry in the Legal 500 including: “Lanyon Bowdler stands out for its exceptional service, expertise, and pragmatic approach”, and: “The team at Lanyon Bowdler take time to really understand our needs which ensures the work prepared is delivered in a timely manner”.
Brian Evans, Lanyon Bowdler managing partner, said: “Every law firm values their position in the Legal 500, which is highly respected within the industry and we are delighted to have maintained our top-tier ranking for our clinical negligence and agriculture and estates departments in the West Midlands.
“Being recommended in a total of 13 areas is testament to the high standards we set across the firm and demonstrates the strength of the firm’s expertise across a range of legal disciplines.
“We have been successful in maintaining our tier-two status in agriculture and estates, Wales; personal injury, West Midlands; personal tax, trusts and probate, West Midlands; and family, elsewhere in the West Midlands - and we have seven practice areas where we have a tier-three ranking
“Individually we have excelled once again with a total of 33 recommendations and I would like to offer my congratulations to all of the lawyers named in the guide, with each one continuing to go above and beyond in the best interests of our clients. It really is appreciated.”
Leading partners are defined in the guide as the strongest in their field, endorsed by peers and clients alike. Next generation partners highlight junior partners with significant recognition from clients and peers in the market and key roles on multiple matters, while leading associates are identified as having regular involvement in their team's key work, and recognition from peers or clients as being ones to watch.
Legal 500 was launched in 1987 as the original clients’ guide to law firms and lawyers. Its rankings are based on independent research with feedback from clients, barristers and professionals, who score law firms across a range of criteria.
