The 2025 edition of The Legal 500 has awarded Stephensons top tier status for the tenth consecutive year.
Seen as the definitive guide to the legal profession, The Legal 500 undertakes stringent research into the industry. The independent guide recommends law firms for their expertise by ranking them in tiers and also highlights any outstanding legal professionals.
In total, the guide awarded rankings to seven practice areas. Commendations were given to Stephensons’ crime and fraud, medical negligence, personal injury, family law, and social housing teams with further recognition for local government law and professional discipline.
Among numerous departments which were ranked this year, The Legal 500 reserved particular praise for Stephensons’ family team, which achieved a tier 1 ranking, and the firm’s crime and fraud departments, both of which received the coveted ‘Tier 1’ ranking.
Sean Joyce, Managing Partner at Stephensons said: “The Legal 500 continues to be a useful barometer of quality in the legal services arena and this latest edition of the guide strengthens our credentials as one of the leading law firms in the North West of England.
“To be recognised across such a breadth and depth of legal services for the past decade is a huge achievement and demonstrates the excellent work being performed at every level.”
