We are delighted to announce that, following the release of the latest Legal 500 UK rankings this October, Swinburne Maddison has once again been recommended in nine separate practice areas, covering the full spectrum of legal services offered by the firm.
The Legal 500 rankings are compiled through an extensive independent research process, which includes detailed analysis of casework and thousands of client and peer interviews.
We are especially proud to have retained four Tier One rankings, a reflection of our continued commitment to excellence and client service.
We are also pleased to note that David Low (Commercial Litigation) has been promoted to Leading Partner, and Catherine Lowther (Family) has been newly recognised as a Leading Associate.
David joins Jonathan Moreland, Martyn Tennant, Alex Wilby, Victoria Walton and Kate Stephenson, recognised as Leading Partners. Catherine joins Abigail Zuk and Sharney Randhawa as a Leading Associate.
Congratulations are also due to Craig Malarkey and Gillian Moir, who have retained their recognition as a Next Generation Partner.
Elsewhere, the editorial commentary also reflects a broader recognition of our associates and partners, with more individuals acknowledged for their expertise and contributions. A total of 22 individuals were named as “Key Lawyers”, including Matthew Ray, Rebecca Logue, Simon Robinson, Gillian Moir, Chris Ross, James Curran, Lewis Brown, Amy Pyman, Elizabeth Gibbison and Charlotte Excell, in addition to those already mentioned above.
A huge congratulations to the entire Swinburne Maddison team for their hard work, dedication and the quality of their written submissions.
