Stewarts has an outstanding reputation across all its specialist departments. We are widely recognised for our innovative and cutting-edge approach to high-value and complex litigation.

Our position and reputation is confirmed by our top rankings in The Legal 500, Chambers and The Times Best Law Firms, the major guides to the legal profession in the UK. We have also won and been nominated for numerous awards, some of which are listed below.

 

The Legal 500

The Legal 500 provides the most comprehensive worldwide coverage available on legal service providers in 90 countries. It is used by commercial and private clients, corporate counsel, CEOs, FDs and professional advisers, as well as by other referrers of work both nationally and internationally. It is widely regarded as offering the definitive judgement of law firms’ capabilities. 

In the latest edition of The Legal 500, we earned record-breaking results. 22 of our practice areas have been ranked, and a record 59 of our lawyers have scored individual rankings.

Chambers UK

First published in 1990, Chambers has established a reputation for its in-depth research. Based on thousands of interviews with lawyers and clients, the guide ranks solicitors and barristers in more than 60 specialist areas of law. Inclusion in the guide is based solely on the research team’s findings: no one can “buy their way in”. 

In the latest edition of the Chambers UK guide to the best law firms, the firm had 20 department rankings and a record 72 individual rankings.

The Times Best Law Firms

We featured for the seventh consecutive year in The Times Best Law Firms survey. The survey lists us as a top three firm for personal injury and clinical negligence, and we are also listed for divorce and family and commercial dispute resolution. The Best Law Firms directory was voted for by peers, being described as “the lawyers’ own view of their competitors”. The results were gained by asking lawyers which firms, aside from their own, they would refer work to.

The firm has previously won The Legal 500 Dispute Resolution Firm of the Year, The Legal 500 Best Regional Law Firm for Dispute Resolution, and Best Managed Firm at the MPF European Practice Management Awards. The firm has also been nominated as Law Firm of the Year by The Lawyer.
