The annual independent guide, widely recognised as the definitive list of leading UK law firms, has again ranked Pitmans in the first tier for its core practice areas of litigation, pensions and commercial property as well as insolvency and corporate recovery, banking and IT advisory.
Pitmans is recommended in 22 practice areas and quoted as having ‘the skills and experience of a City firm’ with ‘a more personal service than larger firms’.
In total, 42 of Pitmans lawyers are recommended, including 8 new entrants this year: Claire Collings, Jim Meechan, Stacey Jones, Jenny Littlewood, Sheilagh Magee, Marcus McCluggage, Sarah Potter and Marie Evrard.
