Womble Bond Dickinson has once again been recognised as one of the best law firms in the UK for private client work. WBD was named as a tier one firm in the 2021 eprivateclient Top Law Firms, a detailed report into the top private wealth law firms in the UK.
Firms are ranked according to a number of factors including revenue and headcount with a total of 49 firms featured in the guide and only 16 listed as top tier firms.
This is the second year running that WBD is recommended as a top tier firm.
Neil Long, head of the firm's Private Capital team, commented:
"We're thrilled to be recognised once again as a top tier firm in the UK. This is a great tribute to the dedicated and talented team of legal and wealth planning experts that work with us across the country.
"WBD's private wealth practice has been advising families and their businesses for over 200 years. We take the time to understand our clients and we leverage that knowledge, alongside our legal advice, commercial experience and innovation, to find solutions that work best for them."
