The Legal 500 – A Who’s Who Of The Legal World
Reasons to choose Wilson Browne
Yesterday the latest edition of The Legal 500 was announced, and a number of our teams were recognised for their expertise.
Many of our clients will not have heard of The Legal 500; for some it will not seem terribly relevant…but perhaps it should.
The Legal 500 is an independent guide to the best law firms and lawyers, and the most in-depth independent survey of the UK legal market. It appraises the strengths of law firms and is based on detailed submissions referencing significant cases a lawyer, team, or firm has been involved in.
It is not the only measurement of expertise: it is one of many including membership of professional bodies, success for clients, and the frequency with which we are asked to deliver seminars, and expert insight in publications. We are pleased to see people or teams included, but it does not diminish the standing of those not mentioned who continue to deliver expert advice, to the delight of their clients.
Extracts from Legal 500:
