LAWYERS at a Herefordshire firm are celebrating being recognised for their work in a national guide considered the 'Who’s who' of legal professionals.

The Chambers & Partners legal guide has been helping people find the best lawyers and law firms for more than 30 years through a national ranking system compiled by a team of experienced researchers.

Lanyon Bowdler, which has offices in Hereford and Bromyard, boasts 14 solicitors in the 2020 guide, including newly listed personal injury specialist, Louise Howard, and both the family and agricultural and rural affairs teams in Hereford, Worcester and surrounding areas.

The other solicitors named in the guide are John Merry, Andrew Evans, Edward Nutting, David Brammer, Lucy Small, Kay Kelly, Emma Broomfield, Sue Hodgson, Lisa Grimmett, Colin Spanner, Neil Lorimer, Dawn Humphries, and Edward Rees.

Managing partner Brian Evans said: “We are delighted with the new rankings which are all the more pleasing because they are based on independent research and interviews with solicitors and clients.

“This national directory is clearly highly competitive and for a lawyer or team to be recognised in this way is a tremendous achievement.

“Chambers is a well-respected guide, one of the who’s who of our profession really, so we are extremely proud to be so well represented again this year

“It means our lawyers have successfully negotiated an independent assessment and received an outstanding rating based on what our peers and clients say about us. We are extremely grateful for all the positive feedback which has allowed us to maintain such a prominent position in the guide.

“Lanyon Bowdler features strongly in the guide each year which is a tribute to the high standards we continually set ourselves in delivering the best service for our clients.”
