Strong work across a range of departments has been highlighted in the latest edition of the Legal 500, the independent research organisation that ranks law firms and lawyers based on feedback from clients, contacts and peers.
We've received some excellent comments which recognise high levels of knowledge and standards of service from individuals and our teams.
Alasdair Cummings, our Managing Partner, said: “I am incredibly proud of the achievements of the team here at Lindsays and thank everyone for their continued hard work and dedication.
“We all strive to deliver the best service that we can to our clients.
“My congratulations go to everyone who has been ranked and thanks to the clients - and our peers - who took the time to share their experiences of working with us.”
We have 13 departments ranked, 3 Leading Individuals, 1 Next Generation Partner and 1 Rising Star.
Partners Alison McKee, David Armstrong and Nina Taylor have once again been highlighted as ‘Leading Individuals’ in their fields. Lauren Pasi has been ranked as a Next Generation Partner and Rachel Holt is recognised as a Rising Star - both in our Personal Injury team.
