Regional heavyweight law firm Freeth Cartwright hits the Top 10
REGIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT LAW FIRM FREETH CARTWRIGHT HITS THE TOP 10
The world’s foremost guide to law firms has once again recognised Freeth Cartwright LLP as one of only three top-ranked regional heavyweight legal firms in the East Midlands.
The Legal 500’s UK rankings also put Freeth Cartwright as a regional leader in no less than 10 categories including:
• Banking and Finance
• Construction
• Corporate & Commercial (Leicester)
• Corporate Tax
• Employment
• Family
• Professional Negligence
• Personal tax, Trusts and Probate
• Real Estate (Nottingham & Derby)
• Sport
Freeth Cartwright’s Philippa Dempster is Head of Commercial Services at the firm, which has 78 partners and a total staff of 435 across offices in Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester and Nottingham.
Philippa commented:
“We are devoted to excellence in all areas and we won’t stop until we feature at the top in every category and put blue water between us and our competitors. The success of our clients is paramount and our aim is always to give them a competitive edge; always providing answers, rather than just options, is key to this as is really getting under the skin of their business.
“One of the comments in the Legal 500 which is particularly pleasing relates to our ability to advise on complex matters with a commercial slant. Many law firms claim that they can do this but not many actually do.”
New to the listings for this year are:
• Employment (Birmingham)
• Charities
• Planning (Birmingham)
• Transport
• Finance - Insolvency & Corporate Recovery (Manchester)
The Birmingham office of Freeth Cartwright, which currently specialises in real estate and commercial services, was launched in January last year and has subsequently seen its client base grow appreciably. Earlier this year, the office moved to bigger premises at 75 Colmore Row, in the heart of the city’s business community. The firm also has plans for their Manchester office to move to bigger premises early next month.
