Christian Mancier, Partner and head of the Family Business team commented, “These excellent results could not have been achieved without the efforts of the fantastic team here at Gorvins and their hard work and dedication throughout the past year.

We are delighted to have been recognised in this highly respected guide as we constantly strive to provide clients with the highest quality service and this is reflected by the testimonials included within the Legal 500 listings which have come direct from our valued clients.

The number of lawyers recognised across our Corporate Commercial, Wills Trusts and Probate, Family and Commercial Litigation departments shows the strength in depth we have as a firm in those areas most often needed by Family Businesses and how well equipped we are to be advising Family Businesses of all shapes and sizes across the whole of the UK”

The 2022 guide also sees Gorvins achieve recommendation for the following practice areas: debt recovery, insolvency and corporate recovery, employment (for both Employment and Employee/Union Firms categories), personal injury and clinical negligence (claimant), professional negligence, private client, (contentious trusts and probate, family and personal tax, trusts, and probate), property litigation and intellectual property.

The Legal 500 is viewed as a definitive third-party reference guide and its publication is anticipated by many each year. The guide is based on independently conducted interviews of not only law firms but their clients as well and is trusted and respected by fellow practitioners including General Counsel as well as many of the top FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 companies, journalists, students, and the wider business communities.
