MFG Solicitors, which has offices in Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Birmingham, Worcester, Telford, and Ludlow, has been named in the latest Legal 500 guide.
The Worcestershire-based firm has nine departments and several individual solicitors recommended for their expertise.
Contentious probate partner Robert Weston has been named in the guide’s ‘Hall of Fame’ category for the fourth consecutive year.
Litigation partner Sam Pedley, agriculture and rural affairs partner Alexandra Phillips, and employment partner Sally Morris have all been identified as leading partners, with Sam and Alexandra making the list for the first time.
Contentious probate partner Andrew Chandler, commercial property partner David Raymont, and family law partner Sian Kenkre are named once again as next-generation partners.
Rebecca Rogers, senior associate and litigation expert, is also acknowledged for the first time, joining the ranks of leading associates.
The firm’s family department has moved up to the prestigious ‘Tier One’ status, while the agricultural and rural affairs team retained its top tier status, held since 2021.
Andrew Davies, partner and managing director at MFG Solicitors, said: “The release of the latest Legal 500 list is always a big moment in the industry so it’s great to see our partners and departments singled out for praise by our clients.
“To see Robert Weston appearing for the fourth year in a row in the Hall of Fame is a remarkable achievement and shows why he is revered across the country.
“We’re delighted for Sam and Alexandra to now be recognised as Leading Partners, whilst the likes of Sally, Andrew, David, and Sian have rightly maintained their positions again this year.
“It’s also great to see Rebecca recognised as a Leading Associate.
“Aside from our Agriculture and Rural Affairs team retaining their top status, to see our Family department ranked as a Tier One is also a huge milestone for Katherine Tippetts and her team.
“They provide first-rate advice to hundreds of families and individuals so for them to be personally recognised by clients is testament to their professionalism.”
The 2025 edition of the Legal 500 guide is the result of interviews with more than 250,000 people conducted globally over the past 12 months.
The guide recommends firms and lawyers based solely on merit.
