The Legal 500, the respected annual guide to the UK’s legal firms and individuals, has named dozens of Bristol lawyers on its list of the region’s ‘leading individuals’. Bristol lawyers once again make up the vast majority – and, for the first time, up-and-coming lawyers have been included alongside those who have appeared for many years. All these individuals are regarded as the ‘go-to’ lawyers in their field.
