Leading Durham law firm, Swinburne Maddison LLP, is celebrating another successful year in the Legal 500 - a directory of all the leading law firms across the UK - after receiving rankings in seven categories of the 2021 edition, covering all major practice areas across the firm: Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property, Corporate and Commercial, Employment, Family, Private Client and Property Litigation.
Within the latest rankings, the firm was delighted to secure another Top Tier position, this time in the Family category, bringing their total number of Top Tier rankings to three, thanks to the Corporate & Commercial and Commercial Property teams retaining their positions from last year. Commenting on the results, Partner and Practice Manager, Carolyn Beal, said: “Having already been named one of the region’s top scoring firm’s for client service in April this year, it is immensely gratifying to receive this further recognition by the Legal 500, particularly after all the hard work, commitment and unity shown by our team during this unprecedented year.” “It is also testament to the strength of our relationships and the support we receive from our clients and professional contacts, some of whom have trusted us with their legal work for several decades. Swinburne Maddison is a firm which has always placed client care and service excellence at the centre of everything it does, and we will continue to do so, whatever the next 12 months throw at us!” A number of the firm’s Associates and Partners were also singled out for individual recognition. Partners, Martyn Tennant and Victoria Walton, and Head of the Family team, Kath Hill, were acknowledged as Leading Individuals, recognising their experience and leading roles within their respective teams, as well as their wider recognition by market peers. Partner, David Low, was singled out as a Next Generation Lawyer in the categories of Commercial Litigation and Property Litigation, indicating the significance of his contribution to these teams and the outstanding client endorsements received, and Managing Associates, Abigail Zuk and Gillian Moir, along with Associates, Mike Ward and Natalia Lalas, were named Rising Stars in their respective fields.
