Legal 500 | Swinburne Maddison

We are delighted to announce that as our reputation continues to grow we have received industry recognition in The Legal 500 UK 2016/17 Edition, where we have been recommended in five categories across the firm:-

  • Corporate and Commercial 
  • Employment
  • Family
  • Commercial Property
  • Property Litigation

The Legal 500 is the leading guide to law firms and lawyers across the world and any firm who wishes to secure a place in the rankings for one of its teams must be able to provide detailed examples of work which demonstrate the calibre and expertise of the team, as well as the enthusiasm and passion which the team has for its practice area and clients.  The written submissions must then be supported by feedback and testimonials from across the firm’s client base and professional network. 

Commenting on The Legal 500 results, Partner and Head of the Commercial Property Team, Victoria Walton, said:

“Swinburne Maddison prides itself on tailoring every instruction we receive to the needs of that individual client and on meeting and communicating with clients on a regular basis to ensure that each client feels completely confident in the service we can offer.

“Across all departments of the firm, we have highly-trained specialist lawyers, equipped to deal with complex and unusual instructions. To have this commitment and expertise recognised by The Legal 500 in five major areas of our business shows that we are succeeding in our aims and I am thrilled that our clients and professional contacts feel the same way.” 

In addition to the five team recommendations, The Legal 500 researchers also singled out 10 of our lawyers from within these teams for individual recommendations, including Head of the Employment Team, Partner Jonathan Moreland, who was praised for his ability to “convey complicated aspects of employment law to laypeople” and Partner, David Low, who was commended for leading “one of the most progressive and efficient” Property Litigation teams in the market.
