The annual listings are acted on by commercial and private clients, corporate counsel, professional advisers and other referrers of work.
“As in previous years our departments and individual practitioners have made the list through skill, experience and providing excellent value for money,” said David Stephens. “Being recognised through Legal 500 for doing a first-class professional job is another sure sign that we are delivering for clients.”
