Chief executive Stephen Rosser, who was named ‘Eminent Practitioner’, said: “Once again we are delighted with this year’s Chambers and Partners rankings.

“To rank in 32 specialist practise areas with an incredible 71 of our people receiving recommendations is a great achievement and coming hot on the heels of our equally impressive Legal 500 results indicates the strength of our firm as a whole.

“Most encouraging, was the excellent testimonials from our clients who are quoted in the guide and can attest, first hand, to the service we provide. Top tier ratings are a great recognition of quality.

“Our Bristol and Taunton offices did particularly well with a combined 17 practise areas ranked and an incredible 40 lawyers individually named.

“The results reflect the time we invest in developing relationships with our clients, our high level of service and our straightforward approach.”
