Top rating for Lodders’ legal advice and lawyers

Three practice areas and eleven lawyers at Warwickshire law firm Lodders’ have been given the highest recommendation for their legal advice by the professions’ national trade bible, The Legal 500.

The 2016 edition of The Legal 500 has awarded the highest Tier 1 ranking to Lodders’ work in agriculture and estates, personal tax, trusts and probate, and real estate, which has moved-up to the top tier position for the first time this year.

It has given special recognition to the firm’s agriculture and landed estates legal specialists James Spreckley, Caroline Nemecek and Jane Senior, all partners at the firm, personal tax, trusts and probate specialists Martin Green and Louise Igoe, who are partners in Lodders’ private client team, and real estate partners Nick East and James Mottram.

Lodders’ charities and not-for-profit specialist Mark Lewis receives the Legal 500’s highest commendation, being listed as an elite ‘leading lawyer’ in his field in the select list of outstanding lawyers nationwide.

Based in the firm’s Cheltenham practice, corporate and commercial partner Steve Thomas and head of Lodders’ employment team Nick Rowe, have both been identified as amongst the South West’s leading legal specialists in their fields.

Head of Lodders’ private client team, and the firm’s senior partner Martin Green (pictured), says the 2016 rankings in this year’s Legal 500 are a ‘marker’ of the firm’s sustained performance, comprehensive legal skill and exceptional service offering:

“The Legal 500 is one of the most respected, independent rankings of lawyers in the UK and worldwide. The firm is delighted to have retained the highest possible Top Tier ranking for two of its most established and growing teams. Furthermore, the addition of our Real Estate work to the growing number of teams receiving these highest rankings, and recognition for our Cheltenham operation in the South West, is all especially pleasing. It is true testament to the hard work and legal ability of our industry specialists.

“For the firm as a whole, these highest possible rankings for a number of our teams, and recommendation for so many of our lawyers across a range of legal areas, is further proof of the exceptional work, client service and quality of advice provided by the firm and its individuals each and every day,” he says.

“Lodders is increasingly a magnet for talented, ambitious individuals who can be sure of that unusual combination of working on high level work and for the type of clients you’d perhaps expect in a big city firm, but based in a provincial location

“We have an excellent, very capable team, and a clear focus on continuing our growth – we are on the look-out for more excellent lawyers across our corporate and private client departments. These are all exceptional opportunities for ambitious professionals to join a sustainable, financially stable firm, and a growing, thriving practice.”
