The Legal 500 Extols Taylor&Emmet's Pragmatic Advice

Sheffield’s Taylor&Emmet LLP is reinforcing its reputation as one of South Yorkshire’s leading solicitors, following a strong performance in the latest edition of The Legal 500.

This year’s annual survey of UK law firms includes Taylor&Emmet in 11 areas of business and private client work, with key personnel recognised for their skills.

Employment law specialist, David Poddington, is named among The Legal 500’s leading individuals in Yorkshire for a second year running, whilst his team is praised for its ongoing development, ranking in the region’s top eight firms in this discipline.

Head of Taylor&Emmet’s corporate and commercial department, Peter Crawford, is noted as being a “pleasure to work with,” acting for clients with turnovers ranging from £5-£50 million. His colleagues in commercial litigation are also commended for dealing with disputes on behalf of manufacturers and large businesses that are “of great importance to clients and need a pragmatic solution.”

The firm is acknowledged for the quality of its personal injury work with department head, Jonathan Stittle and colleague, John Green, both receiving mentions for being “tactically astute.”

Taylor&Emmet’s probate and family teams are recognised for their breadth of expertise, whilst the firm is also recommended for its skills in insolvency and corporate recovery, commercial property, property litigation, social housing and clinical negligence.

Anthony Long, Taylor&Emmet’s chief executive, said: “The Legal 500 survey is an excellent indicator of our achievements relative to comparable firms in the Yorkshire market. We are very pleased to see so many key individuals receive such high praise this year and for the firm as a whole to, once again, be recommended in so many disciplines. We continue to drive development on apace and this industry recognition of our skills sets the benchmark on which we will build in the next 12 months.”
