LAW firm Oglethorpe Sturton and Gillibrand has been ranked one of the best in the North West in The Legal 500 UK rankings.

Based on feedback from clients and other professional advisors, along with submissions made by law firms themselves, The Legal 500 rankings highlights individual solicitors and teams that are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice.

The firm, which is based in Kirkby Lonsdale and Lancaster, was recognised in the categories – agriculture and estates; real estate, and personal tax, and trusts and probate – and was praised by both The Legal 500 editorial team and clients alike for going above and beyond in providing the best possible service “as well as, if not better, than many of the larger City firms”.

Across the board, The Legal 500 editorial team praised the approachable nature of the solicitors, their in-depth subject knowledge and the strong relationships that they build with their clients, who repeatedly highlighted in their testimonials how “going the extra mile for clients is the norm”.

Partners Alison Kinder, Allan Sumner, John Myers and Clare Love drew particular praise for leading their teams from the front with their knowledge and skill in their specialist areas.

Managing Partner Jennifer Grabowski said:“Huge congratulations to Alison, Allan, John and Clare for their recognition as leading practitioners in their areas.

“As we already knew, but now the glowing testimonials evidence to all, their listings are very well deserved.”
