Introduction
One of the legal professions independent "bibles" complied by Chambers and Partners has yet again praised Ashfords for being the strongest law firm in the South West. Ashfords is ranked as a top tier firm for Real Estate (Property) Litigation, Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Planning and Sport. Other areas of Banking and Finance, Corporate Finance, Employment, Intellectual Property, Environment and Restructuring and Insolvency rank highly and support our main and top rated practice areas.
Particular praise is given to Charles Hattersley and Liz Gibson who are recognised at a national level for their expertise in Shipping and Public Procurement. Ashfords has a total of 22 named specialised lawyers within the guide; more than any other firm within the region.
Ashfords Chief Executive Ian Daniells said: "Ashfords has enjoyed another very busy and successful year, and it's very pleasing that the Chambers legal survey has recognised the undoubted expertise we have as a full service corporate, commercial, property and private client firm.
"We are ranked as one of the top law firms in the South West. We intend to not only build upon our recognised core strengths in corporate & commercial work within the SME business sector and private client work, but also expand into new areas in the future as well as broadening our growing international work.
"We value greatly the fact that our clients continue to give us positive recognition through an independent publication such as Chambers, and their findings reflect the hard work of our talented staff and our continuing commitment to providing top quality legal advice in the region."
