Ledingham Chalmers’ experts have again been listed in the Legal 500 directory, which ranks top lawyers and organisations.
Eighteen of our colleagues across six disciplines have been recognised.

Testimonials
What also makes positive reading are the testimonials describing us, for example, as “professional yet friendly and approachable with a commercial focus” and “… a team of hard-working, highly skilled lawyers who deliver excellence.’
After the last 18 months, where we’ve all had to adapt quickly and deliver the service our clients expect and deserve against the backdrop of a global pandemic, that feedback means a lot.
Plus, it sits well with our core value to satisfy and impress our clients — a crucial part of our firm’s sustainable growth.
And, looking back, what I said last year still stands true: onwards and upwards and, to all those, including clients, who took the time to provide feedback on the service from the firm, a heartfelt thank you.
