Several of the White & Black’s solicitors and teams have been recognised in this year’s Legal 500 and Chambers Guide legal rankings. A brilliant year for the firm sees 18 rankings in total including Band 1 and Band 2 rankings for our Corporate team in Chambers and Legal 500 respectively and a Band 1 and Leading Individual ranking for Corporate team lead John Allen.

A huge congratulations to all our solicitors and teams for their rankings, and recognition for their excellent work over the last year.
Client Comments
‘A stellar team of top lawyers who have chosen to move out of London to Oxfordshire. They bring with them huge levels of experience and a pragmatic edge that is often elusive within the large firms.’
‘Matt Johnston and Victoria Wright are exceptional black letter lawyers as given, what makes then stand apart is their ability to apply this to real world problems. They do what they say they are going to do, in the time lines given and the fees estimates quoted.’
‘The team has a great capacity to understand similarities and differences between legal framework in the UK and in other jurisdictions, which makes finding common solutions for clients much easier.’
“Phil Thompson is a standout commercial lawyer, particularly in relation to technology services agreements and data protection. He produces clear advice and technically excellent work.”
