Law firm Wollens ranked among best in world

Leading Devon law firm Wollens has some of the best lawyers in the land - and that's official.

The company has secured a number of rankings within the prestigious Legal 500 directory 2024 edition.The Legal 500 is the leading guide to law firms and solicitors in the UK. The rankings reflect the result of months of extensive analysis by the research team, who conduct thousands of interviews with private practice lawyers and read through tens of thousands of submissions to select the very best lawyers and law firms in the UK.

As part of the research, the Legal 500 team canvassed the views of more than 40,000 clients. Every firm ranked – and lawyer mentioned – in the UK Legal 500 UK Solicitors guide is ‘recommended’.

Wollens has been successful in achieving recognition in seven practice areas within the annual publication. These are:

* Corporate and Commercial
* Licensing
* Private Client (personal tax and probate)
* Employment
* Commercial Property
* Family 
* Clinical Negligence

A dozen of Wollens' lawyers have also been recognised as 'Recommended Lawyer' by the researchers.

The inclusion in the annual publication, which assesses the strengths of law firms across the UK and globally, is indicative of the team’s hard work over the last 12 months and the quality of the services provided to clients.

Wollens are one of the largest independent law firms in the region, with nearly 200 people across three locations in Exeter, Torquay and Barnstaple.

All of their experts are specialists in their fields, rather than generalists across many areas of law.
