Law firm's excellence recognised in latest Legal 500 rankings

By Oglethorpe Sturton and Gillibrand LLP

08 Nov 2021

There was delight for local law firm Oglethorpe Sturton & Gillibrand as they were ranked as one of the best in the North West in the latest edition of The Legal 500 UK rankings. 

Based on feedback from clients and other professional advisors, along with submissions made by law firms themselves, The Legal 500 rankings highlight individual solicitors and teams that are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice.

The firm, which has offices in Lancaster and Kirkby Lonsdale, was recognised in three categories – Agriculture and Estates, Real Estate, and Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate – and were praised by both The Legal 500 editorial team and clients alike for going above and beyond in providing the best possible service “as well as, if not better, than many of the larger City firms”. 

Across the board, The Legal 500 editorial team praised the approachable nature of the solicitors, their in-depth subject knowledge and the strong relationships that they build with their clients, who repeatedly highlighted in their testimonials how “going the extra mile for clients is the norm”.

Partners Alison Kinder, Allan Sumner, John Myers and Clare Love drew particular praise for leading their teams from the front with their knowledge and skill in their specialist areas.

As one testimonial for the firm read: “It does not matter how big or small the job may be, the client is treated the same”.

It is this client-centred approach that is key to the Oglethorpe Sturton & Gillibrand’s success over 200 years, and has led to associations that can last for generations, particularly within farming families, and has enhanced its reputation as one of the most sought-after firms in the area.

Managing partner Jennifer Grabowski was delighted with the firm’s inclusion within the prestigious publication: “Huge congratulations to Alison, Allan, John and Clare for their recognition as leading practitioners in their areas.  As we already knew, but now the glowing testimonials evidence to all, their listings are very well deserved.”
