This week the Legal 500 rankings for 2025 were released, which sees JB Leitch hold its high position in Tier 3 for property litigation, alongside some of the largest firms in the country.
For over 30 years, The Legal 500 has been analysing the capabilities of law firms across the world, with a comprehensive research programme revised and updated every year to bring the most up-to-date vision of the global legal market. The rankings are based on a series of criteria including notable cases, capability and technical expertise – highlighting the practice area teams who are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice.
We are delighted that not only has the firm been recognised for its expertise in property law, but key individuals have been singled out for their outstanding work, including Principal Associate Katie Edwards, Principal Solicitor Jonathan Leitch, Associates Katie Orr and Lauren Walker and Legal Director Phil Parkinson, who receives Next Generation partner status for the second consecutive year.
An important component of the award is client feedback, which notes “JB Leitch are real specialists in their field. Their primary focus on long leasehold work is unique – the entire practice management ethos has developed with that specialism in mind” and that the firm is “a tight and focused team that is a match for any competition.’
Director Jonathan Leitch adds: “I am delighted that the new rankings provide such a high degree of recognition for the whole team and our recent successes. I’m particularly pleased that some of our rising stars are being acknowledged for their remarkable achievements. In a time of significant change across the property sector, we are honoured that our clients have provided testimonials that reflect our dedication, focus and commitment.”
The good news arrives at an exciting time for the firm, with recent weeks seeing a host of new starters welcomed at every level of operation – from apprentices to solicitors. Coupled with a continuing programme of systems investment and resource development, the 140 strong team continues to look ahead with confidence and focus.
