The 2024 Legal 500 results have been announced and once again the London office of national law firm Clarke Willmott LLP has ranked highly with both practice areas and individual lawyers named.

Four Clarke Willmott London lawyers have been named in the elite ‘Leading Individuals’ list, Philip Roberts for his work in debt recovery, Kate Silverman in social housing and Anne Minihane and Anthony Fairweather for their Court of Protection work. Charlotte Lord is also named as a ‘Rising Star’ in social housing.
