Gorvins Solicitors retains and improves on annual Legal 500 rankings

Stockport-headquartered Gorvins Solicitors has once again been recognised in this year’s Legal 500 rankings.

The firm has retained a tier 1 ranking within three service areas; corporate & commercial, commercial property and commercial litigation services, grading it among the best in the UK within these fields.

Alongside this, a total of 25 lawyers are ranked in the listing, with seven being name-checked as ‘leading lawyers’, with Claire Beaumont (partner and co-head Commercial Property) and Gary Boyd (partner and head of Military & Serious Sports Injury Claims) being recognised as such for the first time.

Rowan Uren, a senior associate in the corporate & commercial team, is also categorised as a ‘rising star’.

As well as tier 1 categorisations for three practice areas, an additional ten practice areas are ranked in the findings.

One to watch

The firm was also labelled ‘one to watch’ for its road traffic defence team within the fraud, crime and licensing category and achieved marked improvements within the field of technology, media & telecoms moving up a tier from last year’s rankings.

The Legal 500 is a comprehensive research programme that analyses law firms across the world. It assesses strengths across more than 150 jurisdictions and incorporates feedback from 300,000 clients worldwide.

Celebrating success

Mark Deverell, managing partner at Gorvins, said: “The Legal 500 is the global ‘who’s who’ of our industry and we’re beyond pleased with the 2024 results.

“To see so many individuals name-checked alongside top-tier categorisation for three practice areas, for the fourth year running, is wonderful and a testament to everyone’s hard work and dedication.

“Whilst we celebrate our successes, receiving national recognition for what we do is very humbling, as well as being proof that every one of our clients receives the very best service every single time.”

Gorvins and its solicitors achieved recommendations in the following practice areas: Corporate & commercial, Commercial property, Commercial litigation, Litigation – debt recovery, Employment – employee/trade unions, Contentious trusts, Tax, Trusts & probate, PI and clinical negligence – claimant, Insurance – professional negligence, Family, Property litigation, Employment and technology, media & telecoms.
