Commenting on our rankings Gordon Drakes said: "This has been a challenging year for many clients, but we have been honoured to be by their side, helping them navigate choppy waters, change tack where necessary and spot opportunities on the horizon. We have learned a lot and we are of course absolutely delighted that the Legal 500, Chambers & Partners and Who's Who continue to recognise our expertise and experience in franchising."
The Legal 500 (2020)
The Legal 500 research is based on feedback from clients, submissions from law firms and interviews with leading private practice lawyers.
We are once again proud to be ranked in Tier 1 for Franchising. David Bond is recognised as a "Leading Individual", Gordon Drakes is recognised as a "next generation partner" and Vicky Reinhardt is recognised as a "rising star". There are individual mentions for Andrew Dodd and James Corlett.

We are again ranked in Band 1 for Franchising in the 2020 edition of the Chambers UK directory. Both David Bond and Gordon Drakes are ranked as leading lawyers.
Sources state our franchise team "listens to our needs and responds accordingly," adding "They do not presume to know what is best for us and instead work with us to come up with the solution that works best."
