The South West offices of national law firm Clarke Willmott LLP have achieved top-tier rankings once again in the 2025 edition of the Chambers and Partners Guide.
Between the Bristol and Taunton offices, Clarke Willmott received Band 1 rankings for four of its specialist practice areas; family and matrimonial, personal injury, agriculture and rural affairs and professional negligence.
The regional offices have also been ranked in Band 2 for nine practice areas and Band 3 for a further two practice areas.
Individual lawyers have also received rankings and prestigious titles with a whopping 37 lawyers across the Bristol and Taunton offices named, five of which are Band 1. Nine lawyers are named ‘associate to watch’ and Gareth Schofield is a ‘star individual’.
Nationally, the firm is ranked in 29 practice areas across its seven regional offices, with four practice areas achieving the top Band 1 ranking in the guide. Clarke Willmott’s lawyers are recognised in 63 individual rankings with eight Band 1 rankings.
Clarke Willmott CEO Peter Swinburn, who has been elevated to the rank of Eminent Practitioner for Real Estate in the South, said: “We are delighted with this year’s Chambers and Partners rankings, which closely followed our equally impressive Legal 500 results earlier this month.
“To rank in 29 specialist practice areas with 63 of our people receiving recommendations highlights our continued commitment to delivering incredible results to our clients and maintaining the high standards of legal service we have become known for.
“The excellent testimonials from our clients who are quoted in the guide are always rewarding to read and much appreciated by our talented and hard-working lawyers. It is an honour to receive this recognition from Chambers and Partners, which reflects the dedication, skill, and hard work of our entire team.”
Chambers and Partners differentiates the best legal talent by identifying and ranking law firms and lawyers globally.
