Thames Valley law firm Blandy & Blandy has again been recognised as a 'top tier' firm in the 2024 edition of The Legal 500.

The Legal 500 analyses and ranks law firms based on how they are viewed by both clients and other professionals. The UK edition is one of more than 100 published worldwide.

Blandy & Blandy is recommended across 13 practice areas, all those in which it advises, and is named as a top tier in three areas - 'Family', 'Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate', and 'Environment and Planning'.

It is also recommended in the 'Corporate and Commercial', 'Employment’', 'Commercial Property', 'Commercial Litigation', 'Insolvency and Recovery', 'Property Litigation', 'Contentious Trusts and Probate', 'Charities', 'Public Sector' and 'Licensing' rankings.

Chairman and partner Nick Burrows said: "We are very pleased to continue to be recognised as a top tier firm and to see all of our departments recognised in this years’ Legal 500.

"Well done to colleagues and thank you to everyone who participated in the research process this year. It is wonderful to read the fantastic feedback that has been shared."

14 of Blandy & Blandy’s 16 partners are individually recognised as experts in their respective fields (The Legal 500 does not cover the area of residential property), while partners Jonathan Gater, (Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate), Karen Jones (Environment and Planning), Claire Dyer (Family), Nick Burrows (Charities) and Sue Dowling (Licensing) were acknowledged as 'leading individuals' in their respective fields.

Ten other lawyers were also recommended in this year’s guide - Andrea Corr, Jonathan Dinsdale, Emma Ford, Rebecca Ledgerwood, Peter Hilton, Asma Muneer, Shashi Sachdeva, Jennifer Scott, Sabah Siddiq and Gemma Stephenson.

According to The Legal 500, Blandy & Blandy is "a very well-established firm" that provides "strong, connected advice on both personal and business interests" and "unrivalled knowledge", "is responsive and easy to work with" and "accessible and extremely knowledgeable".

The firm is credited for its "strong sense of client care", being "outstanding" and "oozing class".
