Clients grant Mills & Reeve seal of approval in guide to UK legal profession

National law firm Mills & Reeve, which has a major office in Birmingham, is one of the country’s top performing law firms when it comes to client satisfaction, according to the latest edition of Chambers UK.

The annual guide, which accumulates feedback from thousands of clients, places Mills & Reeve in the top four law firms based on the number of top ranking lawyers and the top six based on the number of top ranking practice areas.

The impressive results further strengthen Mills & Reeve’s position as a major UK law firm. New national listings in contentious insurance claims, public sector law and governance and Court of Protection ensured a total of 14 UK-wide listings, one more than last year.

Other notable new listings include the Birmingham-based corporate team and the Manchester-based private client team.

In total, the firm was ranked number 1 in 30 out of the 54 practice areas listed, with 87 lawyers across six offices ranked as leading individuals by the directory.

Steve Allen, who heads the firm’s Birmingham office, said: “We have built up our corporate team in challenging economic times and are delighted to see their efforts recognised in Chambers. Our intention is to continue to build on our existing corporate and commercial capabilities in the Midlands to reflect our market position as a leading national law firm

“These directories come down to what our clients say about us and judging by some of the glowing testimonials we’ve received this time around we’re really delivering on our promise to provide outstanding service.”
