Client feedback helps Harrowells secure legal 500 recognition

Each year, The Legal 500 publishes its independent guide to the UK’s leading law firms, assessing the quality of their advice, expertise and client service. Harrowells is proud to be among the firms reviewed.

The assessment process is detailed and robust. It includes an examination of case studies and, crucially, independent feedback gathered directly from clients and professionals. This feedback is submitted confidentially to The Legal 500 and verified by their research team, ensuring an impartial and reliable picture of each firm’s performance.

We’re delighted to share that in the newly released Legal 500 UK 2026 edition, Harrowells has been recognised for excellence in the following practice areas:

• Family
• Corporate & Commercial
• Commercial Property
• Agriculture and Estates
• Contentious Probate
• Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate

Our own client surveys consistently highlight how much clients value our strong relationships, clear communication and practical, focused advice. It’s fantastic to see this reflected in external recognition from such a respected independent source.

Here are extracts from some of the testimonials published in the latest Legal 500 report:
