A Worcestershire law firm has been named among the best in the country.

Specialists from mfg Solicitors have been recognised in the 2024 edition of the Legal 500.

The firm, which has offices in Kidderminster, Bromsgrove and Worcester, has two departments that have retained top tier status.

The Contentious Probate department and the Agricultural and Rural Affairs team have been highlighted as 'Tier One' teams.

The Contentious Probate team has been named in the top tier for the 12th year in a row for its work advising clients on complex wills and inheritance cases.

The Agricultural department has retained the highest rank for the fourth year in succession, recognising its advice to farmers and landowners.

Other departments praised in the latest legal guide are the Family, Commercial Property, Commercial Litigation, Corporate, Employment and Property Litigation teams.

Individual solicitors have also been singled out for recognition this year.

Partner and nationally-recognised contentious probate expert, Robert Weston, has been named in the ‘Hall of Fame’ for the third year in a row.

Meanwhile, partners Andrew Chandler (Contentious Probate), Sam Pedley (Litigation), Sian Kenkre (Family) and David Raymont (Commercial Property), are highlighted as stand outs in the Next Generation category.

Partners Sally Morris (Employment) and Clare Regan (Commercial Property) were also named as leading experts in their respective fields.

Andrew Davies, partner and managing director at the firm, said: "To have so many of our partners and departments highlighted again in this year’s Legal 500 is another proud moment.

"To maintain these consistently high standards really is exceptional, and quite rightly our Contentious Probate and Agricultural teams should be singled out.

"Led by partners Andrew Chandler and Alexandra Phillips, they have carved out a sought-after reputation."

He added: "I must also give a special mention to partner Robert Weston.

"To make it a hat-trick of years in the Hall of Fame is unique, and just underlines the high esteem in which he’s held."

More than 250,000 people were interviewed across the world during the past 12 months to produce the latest Legal 500.
