Clarke Willmott’s Manchester office ranks highly in 2024 Legal 500

The 2024 Legal 500 results have been announced and once again the Manchester office of national law firm Clarke Willmott LLP has ranked highly with both practice areas and individual lawyers named.

The guide, which ranks the UK’s top lawyers and firms, recommended the Manchester office in eight practice areas including social housing; family, personal tax, trusts and probate, construction and corporate and commercial, which rose from Tier 4 to Tier 3 this year.

Manchester lawyers were also individually named in the guide with Lindsay Felstead in social housing listed as a ‘Leading Individual’ and Matthew Wilson, also in social housing, named as a ‘Next Generation Partner’.

Clarke Willmott LLP Chief Executive, Peter Swinburn, said: “We are delighted with our numerous rankings in the Legal 500 guide and especially pleased to receive Top Tier rankings in no less than nine practice areas across the firm.

The Legal 500 is a well-respected and prestigious industry guide, one that both industry insiders and clients use as a measure of quality and professional legal services. Rankings are partly based on client feedback which is a great indication of the esteem in which we are held.

The recognition reflects the time we invest in developing relationships with our clients, our high level of service and our straightforward approach.”

Nationally, Clarke Willmott received Top Tier rankings in nine practice areas and recommendations in 46 practice areas. Four Clarke Willmott lawyers are named in the ‘Hall of Fame’, 18 are named as ‘leading individuals’, 9 as ‘next generation’ lawyers and 10 as ‘rising stars’. A total of 119 lawyers are recommended in the guide.

The Legal 500 series is widely acknowledged as the world’s largest legal guide. It is an independent guide and firms and individuals are recommended purely on merit.
