BM Nyman & Co

Publishing Lawyers

Legal 500

There are two main comprehensive independent annual guides to the UK legal profession:

These are both thoroughly researched, and they publish league tables of recommendations of firms and individual solicitors for particular categories of work, on a region-by-region basis.

The research is based on recommendations by clients and by other members of the legal profession. They are published in book form and are also accessible free-of-charge online.
