Legal 500 UK Top Tier Ranking

The Legal 500 pulls together rankings for UK regional legal firms and practitioners every year, with researchers conducting thousands of interviews and assessing over 12,000 submissions.

In the 2027 edition, Fosters is recognised across 13 practice areas.

Our Crime & Business Defence, Personal Injury and Medical Negligence teams maintain their longstanding Tier 1 rankings, the highest ranking awarded by the guide. This continued success reflects the experience and reputation these teams have built over many years, together with their commitment to supporting clients through what can often be difficult and complex circumstances.

We were also particularly pleased to see an increase in the overall number of colleagues recommended, with 27 recognised by name across the guide’s editorial commentary, client testimonials and individual lawyer rankings.

Ten colleagues retain special individual accolades within the guide, including six as Leading Partners, three as Next Generation Partners and one as Leading Associate. Jamie Arnall, Chris Brown, Damien Moore, Steve Green, Clare Sharpe and Lisa Glynne are recognised as Leading Partners; Josh Perez-Fosh, David Gabell and Paige Gouldthorpe as Next Generation Partners; and Katy Dickinson as a Leading Associate.

Across a range of practice areas, clients praise our approachable and personal service, clear communication, practical advice and commitment to understanding their individual needs, while also recognising colleagues for their expertise, professionalism and support.

Chris Brown, Chief Executive at Fosters, said: “It’s always rewarding to see our people and teams recognised in The Legal 500 UK, particularly as the rankings are informed by research and feedback from clients and professional contacts.

“We’re pleased to see more colleagues recommended this year, alongside the continued success of those who have received individual accolades and the retention of our longstanding Tier 1 rankings.

“Being named the number one law firm in East Anglia for client recommendation earlier this year makes these results especially meaningful. Together, they recognise the expertise, care and personal service our colleagues provide every day, and the trust our clients place in us.”
