Browne Jacobson improves on UK Legal 500 rankings

Browne Jacobson has enhanced its rankings in a number of key practice areas according to the newly released edition of the UK Legal 500.

For the first time the firm was singled out as the ‘pre-eminent’ regional heavyweight law firm in the East Midlands. The firm’s Nottingham office achieved top tier rankings in 23 areas, including a Tier 1 ranking for the firm’s Construction team for the first time.

In the West Midlands the firm enhanced its position in a number of its key sector areas including a first time ranking for its Education team and increased rankings for its EU & Competition Law and IT & Telecoms practice teams.

In London the firm’s commercial property retail team moved up an impressive four tiers from Tier 6 to Tier 2. The Education team improved its rankings to Tier 2 and Head of Education Mark Blois was named as a leading individual in London for the first time. The Local Government team was also ranked for the first time.

Iain Blatherwick, Managing Partner at Browne Jacobson, was delighted with the firm’s latest listings: “This is another set of impressive rankings for Browne Jacobson.
