Upon being ranked as a ‘top-tier firm’ in nine practice areas from The Legal 500 UK 2020, we are delighted to announce that this was replicated in the release of Chambers’ UK 2020 directory.
A key highlight from this year’s publication is our move from last year’s Band 2 to Band 1 in Insurance: Contentious Claims (UK-wide). Although we have been ranked in Tier 1 for contentious claims in The Legal 500 for a number of years, it’s our first-ever ranking in Band 1 for Chambers. The second practice area to jump to Band 1 in the latest Chambers UK directory was Product Liability: Mainly Defendant (UK-wide).
