What an excellent result again this year for Sydney Mitchell, with the firm maintaining its ranking in Tier 1 for our Contentious Probate work and in particular Kamal Majevadia being singled out as a ‘leading individual’.

Many of our talented solicitors have been named throughout for their hard work with our ‘client care second to none’.
