The law firm Bevan Brittan – based at Edmund Street in Birmingham – has recorded a strong set of rankings in two of the most influential legal guides out this week.
Legal 500 ranked the firm’s Clinical Negligence (mainly defendant) team in the region’s ‘top tier’ and also placed Midlands based partner Adrian Dagnall in its ‘elite’ leading lawyers list.
Chambers 2019 Directory gave ‘band one’ rankings to Adrian Dagnall and local partner Tim Hodgetts, while also giving its highest rating to Bevan Brittan’s Clinical Negligence practice nationally.
Further Midlands legal rankings:
- Overall, Legal 500 ranked the firm in seven Midlands practice areas, including – for the first time – Property Litigation and Immigration
- James Gutteridge, from Bevan Brittan’s Employment practice, has been included in the Legal 500 list of ‘elite’ leading lawyers list
- Chambers also named partner Adam Kendall (Litigation) in its list of individually ranked lawyers
Nationally, Bevan Brittan performed strongly, maintaining its rankings in core areas and receiving rankings in a number of disciplines for the first time that involve working with private sector clients.
- Chambers ranked 30 Bevan Brittan partners, amounting to more than half of the firm’s partnership – eight of those at ‘band one’ level. The practice areas in which the firm was highest ranked also included Local Government, Healthcare and Social Housing
- Legal 500 gave its highest ‘top tier’ ranking to Bevan Brittan practices covering Local Government, Health, Professional Discipline and Employment
Adrian Dagnall, Partner and Head of the Birmingham Office, said: “We are naturally delighted with this year’s legal rankings which recognise the strength of our Clinical Negligence practice here in the Midlands, and also our growing expertise across a wide range of business areas.
“With more than 60 legal professionals and support staff, including eight partners, the firm continues to invest in its capability and capacity in the region. These excellent results reflect the focus of our national business strategy, retaining our market-leadership within healthcare, local government and housing whilst entering new markets and acting for a significant number of businesses providing commercial, property, regulatory, employment legal and advisory services.
“We are well-placed to continue on our growth trajectory and provide our clients with the focused and commercial advice they need to help them achieve their business objectives.”
