Leading commercial solicitors, Talbots Law, has seen two of its departments ranked in the latest Legal 500 rankings. 

The employee-owned firm has earned two rankings this year with Jagdip Bains’ Dispute Resolution team retaining its Tier 2 status for Commercial Litigation and Mike Linford’s Company Commercial department earning Tier 4 status.

The Litigation team has maintained its Tier 2 ranking for the second year running thanks to Jagdip’s leadership; supported by Adam Pike who is recognised in this year’s directory as a Leading Partner and Nasar Sarwar who has been listed as a Leading Associate, amongst a large team across the region.

With the addition of key staff, geographical expansion across the West Midlands and the introduction of new specialist services such as Block Management, Debt Recovery and Insolvency support, Talbots’ Dispute Resolution offering continues to go from strength to strength.

Also, following their recognition last year as a “One To Watch”, our Company-Commercial team is formally ranked in this years’ directory, joining The Legal 500 as a Tier 4 firm and continues to build on its success so far with more deals and continued growth both internally and geographically.

Over the last 12 months, the Company Commercial team has added two more senior solicitors, acted on high-profile acquisitions across the country and continues to provide expert support to businesses around the UK from Talbots key business hubs of Stourbridge, Wolverhampton, Coventry, Birmingham and Wolverhampton.

Dave Hodgetts, Chief Executive Officer, Talbots Law said: “The Legal 500 is the go-to guide for law firms in this country, so to have our teams recognised amongst the best in the UK is cause for pride and celebration in equal measure.

Our business services teams are growing exponentially year-on-year, bringing in more talent and working with more and more clients with an ever-increasing range of needs.

To be able to facilitate and deliver this breadth of work to such a high standard is a testament to the job being done by all of our Heads of Department and their teams.”

Jagdip Bains, Head of Dispute Resolution, Talbots Law said: “Of course, it’s a privilege to have been recognised and to see our name amongst those ranked in Tier 2 for a second consecutive year.

We have opened new locations, brought in more experienced and talented staff and grown the team to a level that can continue to facilitate this kind of work and continue to excel and we’ve got our sights f
