Lawfront Firms Recognised as Most Recommended in Legal 500 Client Research

Lawfront Legal 500

Four of Lawfront’s member firms have placed among the top 10 most recommended firms in their region, according to new client research from The Legal 500.

Brachers, Field Seymour Parkes (FSP), Nelsons and Trethowans all feature in Legal 500’s latest analysis of client recommendation scores, which converts client responses to a single question – on a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend this firm? – into a net promoter score for each firm. Firms needed multiple existing Legal 500 rankings and a minimum number of client responses to qualify.

The result isn’t confined to one firm or one region. It reflects the strength and quality of client relationships being built across the Lawfront group, with each of these firms earning that trust independently, in its own market and practice mix.

South East (based on close to 20,000 client responses): Brachers ranked 2nd, behind only Thomson Snell & Passmore. FSP placed 4th and Trethowans 7th.

East Midlands (based on nearly 5,000 client responses): Nelsons ranked 4th, ahead of Wilson Browne, Shakespeare Martineau and Browne Jacobson.

“Client recommendation is one of the clearest signals a law firm can have,” said Axel Koelsch, COO of Lawfront. “Seeing four of our member firms independently placed among the most recommended in their region – across two different parts of the country – tells us our Regional Leaders with National Scale strategy is working exactly as intended: strong local relationships, backed by national resource. It’s a genuine reflection of the trust each of these teams has built with their clients, and we’re proud of what Brachers, FSP, Nelsons and Trethowans have achieved.”
