Law firm Lodders has received one of its best ever set of rankings in the profession’s Legal 500 Guide, with thirty-three lawyers and numerous private client and corporate practice areas awarded individual and team recognition.
Charities and not-for-profit lawyer Mark Lewis, Real Estate law specialist Nick East, and for the first time Lodders’ head of the Family Law practice Beverley Morris, have each been named as ‘Leading Lawyers’ in the Legal 500 2018’s elite list of the UK’s most outstanding lawyers.
The firm has been recommended in six practice areas based in its Stratford upon Avon, Birmingham and Cheltenham offices, amongst them retaining the highest Top Tier ranking for each of its Agriculture and Estates, Private Client, and Real Estate teams that operate across the West Midlands.
The Legal 500 is the UK’s leading annual guide to the country’s best legal specialists.
Included in the firm’s thirty individuals given special recognition in the 2018 edition of The Legal 500, are first-time recommendations for Lodders’ Constantine Berry, Victoria Borrow, Christine Williams, John Rouse, Victoria Longmore, Russell Spencer and Vicky Khandker, and recommendations in both the West Midlands and South West for private client lawyers Jessica Beddows and Stephen Brignull, and for head of employment law Nick Rowe for his work with Lodders’ Agriculture and Estates practice.
The Guide also gives special mention of Lodders’ ‘justifiably strong reputation in agriculture and estates’, and its ‘handling of complex landlord and tenant matters’. Head of Lodders’ Rural Sector team James Spreckley is said to ‘combine detailed analysis’ with ‘an impressive grasp of how best to deliver key strategic objectives’.
Overall, the Legal 500 says the ‘very professional and efficient’ Lodders Solicitors has ‘expertise in wills, trusts, estate planning, probates and tax planning’.
Commenting on Lodders’ ongoing high ranking and recognition by the Legal 500, the firm’s senior partner Martin Green, said: “The firm has experienced sustained growth particularly in the last five years, growth which is underpinned by the exceptional legal skill and client service of all our lawyers, many of whom have received special recognition by Legal 500.
“Founded 230 years ago, Lodders has a strong heritage in services for individuals and privately owned businesses, with clients including private individuals, family and owner-managed businesses, agriculturalists, property developers, and landowners.
