Chief Executive Praises Record Personal Legal Services Rankings

Law firm Irwin Mitchell has improved its rankings once again as a record 95 individual lawyers from the Personal Legal Services division were recommended in the independent Chambers 2017 UK Guide to law cementing Irwin Mitchell’s place as a leading consumer law firm.

Personal Legal Services chief executive, Craig Marshall, said he was proud of the hard work and determination of the team in improving the firm’s already impressive rankings in the guide which recognises the talent of lawyers and teams across the country.

Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth was launched earlier this year and the Chambers Guide includes rankings for many lawyers who have joined Irwin Mitchell’s private client teams in recent years following the acquisition of Berkeley Law and the merger with Thomas Eggar.

Among the personal legal services teams ranked number one at Irwin Mitchell include the Aviation law team, Court of Protection, Industrial Disease, Clinical Negligence, Product Liability, International Travel and Personal Injury and the Family law team. Irwin Mitchell was also recommended for Public Law, Civil Liberties, Environment Law, Education, Police Law and Private Client work.

The Chambers 2017 UK Guide independent publication grades solicitors and barristers across all areas of law in the UK.

Expert Opinion

“It’s fantastic to see so many of our lawyers personally recommended in the guide by their clients and peers but what is most pleasing is that the comments show that as a whole we are providing personal legal services at the highest level across the whole of the UK.

“We are incredibly committed to putting our clients first at all times and to be independently recognised as being at the top of the industry makes me very proud of the talent we have in our business and the hard work invested by all of our people.

“Following the merger with Thomas Eggar we launched Irwin Mitchell Private Wealth earlier this year and it’s great to see that many of the lawyers working on behalf of high net worth clients are recommended in the guide.

“We will now seek to build on this by achieving even stronger rankings next year.” Craig Marshall - Group Chief Executive Officer
