The eagerly awaited Legal 500 review for 2007 arrived last week.
As the city’s only firm to receive top tier status in three practice areas (one being my commercial litigation team) we had ample reason to celebrate and celebrate we did.
This recognition was particularly important in commercial litigation as confidentiality surrounding our cases means that we’re not always able to shout about our achievements. Only through confidential submissions to Legal 500 are we able to highlight some of our biggest success stories.
By pitting us against our counterparts in the city and across the rest of country, Legal 500 enables us to benchmark ourselves against our competitors. Of course we weren’t the only law firm in Liverpool to be commended in the recent report. The results revealed a strengthening of firms in the city, which are improving year on year. That’s something that can only be good for business with competition driving up the quality of legal services across the board.
