DTM Legal is proud to announce its continued recognition in the Legal 500 rankings, once again being named a Top Tier law firm in the North West. With multiple individual mentions across a range of practice areas, the firm underscores its ongoing momentum, expanding operations, and commitment to nurturing the next generation of legal talent.
This year, DTM Legal saw an increase in the total number of lawyers recommended in the Legal 500 rankings, demonstrating deepening strength across the business. DTM Legal achieved recognition across 11 practice areas in 13 categories, with a total of 22 members of the team being individually recommended. Notable successes include 7 Leading Individuals, 5 Next Generation Partners, 1 Leading Associate, and 9 Recommended Lawyers. Alongside impressive results in the Legal 500, the firm has recently doubled its Trainee Solicitor intake, signalling a strategic investment in growth and the development of future expertise.
“To receive Top Tier status again in such a competitive landscape is enormously gratifying,” said Jim Morris, Head of Dispute Resolution & Construction. “It reflects not only the consistently high calibre of our legal work, but the strength of our client relationships and focus on delivering outstanding service.”
Kate Roberts, Partner and Head of Liverpool, added: “It’s particularly pleasing to see our Liverpool presence growing in reputation, with individual recognitions in the latest rankings and an improved ranking for the expanding Dispute Resolution team. Our ambition is to build a firm that delivers regional excellence, and these accolades are a reflection of that collective effort.”
As DTM Legal continues its upward trajectory, the firm sees the expansion of its trainee programme as pivotal to sustaining future growth. “While these rankings are a testament to what our teams have achieved, the decision to double our trainee intake shows we’re also thinking ahead, developing the next generation of legal leaders who will carry this success forward,” said Edward Barnes, Head of Corporate and Commercial.
DTM Legal looks forward to continuing to attract top talent, deepening relationships with clients across the North West and delivering exceptional service across its core practice areas, which include dispute resolution, corporate & commercial, property, employment, insolvency & recovery, and private client work.
