October 9th 2023

The Endeavour Partnership has ranked as Tier 1 in this year’s Legal 500 for its corporate and commercial, dispute resolution and commercial property departments, alongside individual recognition for multiple team members.

The firm, which has just celebrated a record trading year, has successfully retained Tier 1 rankings for two of its four departments. Additionally, in comparison to last year's rankings, both commercial property and employment law have advanced by one tier with commercial property being recognised in the top tier.

The Legal 500 is the world’s leading legal directory and evaluates law firms' strengths by conducting thorough annual research to produce an independent guide to law firms and solicitors. The rankings are determined through a set of criteria, primarily highlighting practice area teams that offer cutting-edge and innovative advice. The assessment focuses on the team's experience and the consistent quality of its members.

Factors considered include exceptional technical expertise for intricate and ground-breaking work, client trustworthiness, capacity to handle significant transactions, historical performance on deals, a reputation for managing complex transactions, market perception and a commitment to utilising IT for enhanced client services.

In addition to the departmental rankings, a number of the team at the firm were recognised in this year’s list as leading individuals, rising stars and next generation partners.

Lee Bramley, managing partner at The Endeavour Partnership said of the rankings: “I'm delighted with our rankings. It's always positive to see our departments excel in The Legal 500, a well-regarded industry guide, known for its extensive research and independence.
