Follett Stock has been recognised in no less than 7 categories of the new Legal 500. This is the best the firm has ever done and is one more category than last year.
The Legal 500 is the public’s guide to the legal industry. It is designed to help anyone find the right lawyer for the job. It provides the largest and most in-depth survey of the UK legal market, with independent and objective reviews of over 800 different law firms from the firm’s own clients.
The magnificent 7 are:
Commercial Litigation where Chris Lingard is recognised as leading a team conducting cases worth £40 million.
Commercial Property where Martin Pearse is “recommended”.
Corporate and Commercial where Penny Paddle is recognised as leading the team.
Employment where Verity Slater is “recommended”.
Intellectual Property and Media where Lucy Morgan is praised for giving “clear, commercial, and practical advice”
Local Government where Richard Scrase is recommended and his “significant expertise” is acknowledged.
Property Litigation where Martin Pearse is again “recommended”.
Managing Partner Chris Lingard is delighted with the results "This is an outstanding achievement for the firm and another indication of the breadth of expertise which we are now able to offer our clients. Every department has been incredibly busy over the past year, and it is gratifying to have our efforts on behalf of clients recognised in this way. In fact, we've been so busy that we hadn't even noticed that the results were out until we were congratulated by our clients!"
