Law firm Burnetts has consolidated its position in the profession as it has made the leading legal bible Chambers.

Fourteen lawyers from Burnetts have been recognised by the prestigious guide, with the firm recommended for its expertise in practice areas including agriculture, banking and finance, corporate law, commercial property, medical negligence and serious injury, and family law.

Hannah Fitzpatrick, an associate in the medical negligence and serious injury team and Paul Brown, an associate in the personal injury team, were recognised for the first time in the guide, which bases its listings on research and interviews.

Corporate lawyers Vaughan Jones, Michael Walby and John Noctor were again recognised lawyers in the North West region.

Partners in the firm’s growing commercial property team, Robbie Mather and Helen Hayward were also ranked as recognised practitioners.

The firm continues its band one ranking in Cumbria for its specialisms in agriculture, personal injury and family law.

Partners Angela Curran, Amy Fallows, Joanne McKenzie, Richard Miller and Simon Mortimer were top-ranked as band one lawyers, with senior associate Diane Barnes named as one to watch.

Burnetts’ managing partner Nick Gutteridge was again recognised as an eminent practitioner for his work with the Court of Protection.

He said: “In the week that the Legal 500 recognised 32 of our lawyers, it’s fantastic to see further outstanding feedback for so many of our individual lawyers and teams."
