The Legal 500 UK Awards were launched this year and we are delighted that Alan Boyle QC won the Chancery (traditional) silk award and Elizabeth Jones QC was highly commended in IP, IT and media. In addition we were highly commended as a set in Chancery (traditional) and in Commercial Litigation.

The awards are unique within the legal industry, bringing together the best of the best from not just law firms and barristers’ chambers, but also the very best in-house lawyers and general counsel operating within the UK market. The award categories recognise not only the largest firms but also excellence in the regional market as well as the specialist firms. By doing so, these awards set the benchmark for excellence across the UK legal market.
