We are delighted that our Community Care Law and Employment Law teams are once again ranked in the 2023 Legal 500 listings under the “Leading Firm” category.
Our Community Care law team was singled out for praise. Legal 500 note that they “combine their mental capacity and Court of Protection expertise with a more traditional private client law offering”.

Clients praised the Community Care team as “easily able to navigate the labyrinth of rules that dominate this area, providing practical solutions to difficult situations”, and commented that the team are “not afraid to challenge the law to obtain the best outcomes for their clients”.
Cate Searle is described as “an outstanding individual in this field. She is the unquestionable expert in Community Care Law, but alongside that, displays impeccable professionalism and integrity”. They also praised Paula Jones as “extremely knowledgeable” with “a depth of experience in Community Care law”, whilst Clare English is listed as a “Rising Star” and the “go-to team member for mandates relating to planning and paying for care, NHS Continuing Health Care funding and Court of Protection deputy applications”.
This is the tenth year that our Employment Law team have been listed in the Legal 500. They praised our “enthusiastic campaigning to promote equality in the workplace”, particularly our annual October disability campaign, ‘Disability Matters’.
Client testimonials also noted that our team displayed “loyalty, honesty, courage, integrity, fortitude, and other important values that promote a good reputation for this company”, and that these values were “exhibited through our good words and actions”.
An Employer client described our Employment Law team as “approachable, accessible, and prompt in responding”, and that they “always demonstrate a high level of professionalism and provide clear guidance and advice”. The Legal 500 also acknowledged Fiona Martin, Director and Head of Employment Law, as a “Leading Individual”, whilst Laura Donnelly, Associate Solicitor, was listed as a “Rising Star”.
Another client praised the support our Employment team offered at a difficult time, saying “I felt believed in, which made me stronger and gave me hope which I really needed at that time”, noting the Employment team’s “quick thinking, problem solving with a high level of initiative and a smooth-running workplace”.
Fiona Martin, Director and Head of Employment Law, says “ We are proud of both our teams and their achievements and are delighted to see that this is reflected in our listing as a leading firm in both employment and social care law. Our client testimonials show that we continue to make a real difference to our clients and to our community”.
