BHW Solicitors is proud to announce another year of outstanding recognition in the Legal 500 rankings, reaffirming its position as one of the leading law firms in the East Midlands.

This year, our Corporate & Commercial and Commercial Property teams have once again retained their coveted Tier 1 status, reflecting their continued excellence, client satisfaction, and market-leading expertise. These rankings underscore our commitment to delivering high-quality legal services to businesses across the region and beyond.

We are also delighted to share that our Employment team has risen to Tier 3, marking a significant achievement and testament to the team’s growing reputation and success in handling complex employment matters. While our Commercial Litigation and IT & Telecoms teams retained their Tier 2 and Tier 3 statuses respectively. 

In addition to our departmental accolades, we are thrilled to celebrate the recognition of 15 individual lawyers, including:

• Ed Nurse, Steve McElhone, Matt Worsnop and Paul Davis who have all retained their Leading Individual status, a prestigious honour awarded to lawyers who consistently demonstrate exceptional skill and leadership in their fields.
• A special congratulations to Symrit Sidhu, who has achieved her first individual ranking, highlighting her growing influence and expertise within the commercial property team.

Managing Partner, Ed Nurse, commented: “We are incredibly proud of the continued recognition across our commercial departments and individual lawyers. These rankings reflect the hard work, dedication, and talent of our entire team. We remain committed to delivering outstanding legal services and building lasting relationships with our clients.”

The Legal 500 rankings are based on rigorous independent research, including feedback from clients and peers, and provide a benchmark for excellence in the legal industry.

BHW would like to thank all our clients and colleagues for their continued support, and we look forward to another year of success.
