The Legal 500 is an annual survey of UK and law firms. it’s supported research meted out throughout the year by the Legal 500’s own researchers. The research is completed employing a combination of interviews with chief executives, managing and senior partners of law firms and practice managers, and by asking clients for feedback on the lawyers they instruct. additionally, the researchers also receive unsolicited comments and proposals. divorce solicitors are in demand in many highest law firms.

The comments and assessments reproduced here arise from that research. they’re not our own independent assessment of the legal sector in Wales. The Legal 500 may be a comprehensive survey covering all aspects of the law. For reasons of space we’ve selected just some sections that we feel are going to be of particular relevance to Walesonline readers.

We have excluded, among others, sections handling commercial property, debt recovery, insurance, health and safety, agriculture and estates, the general public sector and charities, media and sport. Law firms specialising in these areas are therefore unlikely to look here and readers who have an interest in them should visit the Legal 500.
