Goughs once again recognised as one of the South West’s leading law firms

Wiltshire-based law firm Goughs Solicitors has been ranked as a leading firm for the fourth year in a row.

The Legal 500 is widely regarded as the leading guide to both UK and worldwide law firms, and not all firms obtain a listing within the guide.

Inclusion is based on an independent assessment of the firm using a combination of research and client feedback.

This year, three areas of the firm have been specifically identified within the guide: real estate, family, and private client.

Client feedback found the firm to be “an outstanding multi-site rural practice offering city firm quality” yet “reasonably priced with their fees” and with “nice people to deal with”.

Many individuals within the firm were also credited with being “very capable” and “highly skilled in their field”, treating their clients “with professionalism” and “fairly and equally whatever the circumstance”.

Partner and member of the family team, Ross Phillips (pictured left), said: “Huge congratulations to our private client and real estate departments for the recognition they well deserve.

“These lawyers really do go above and beyond, and genuinely care about their clients and getting to know them, and what makes their businesses tick. It is not just another job for them.

“We are delighted that our family team’s commitment to providing an excellent service and supportive experience to our clients, often going through the most difficult time in their lives, has been recognised again.

“The family team has a strength in depth and leadership that is unrivalled in the Wiltshire market.”

Andrew Given (right), partner and head of the land and development team which sits within the real estate team, added: “I’m incredibly proud of the team. We have worked so hard to build up a serious reputation for pragmatic, accessible and expert legal advice, it’s very satisfying to be recognised for this.

“It’s a testament to the quality of our lawyers”.

Goughs has offices in Chippenham, Devizes, Calne, Trowbridge, Corsham, and Melksham
