gunnercooke named Law Firm of the Year by the British Legal Awards
Leading international law firm gunnercooke has been crowned Law Firm of the Year (small/mid sized firm) award at the British Legal Awards 2023.
This recognition comes after being named a Times Best Law Firm and winning the Lexis Nexis Law Firm of the Year award earlier this year. The firm has had a successful 2023, with 27 lawyers ranked in Chambers and 54 lawyers recognised in the Legal 500 rankings.
The British Legal Awards, ran by Law.com, recognise the best legal talent in the UK across both in-house and private practice categories.
gunnercooke co-founder Darryl Cooke comments: “It’s an honour to be named Law Firm of the Year by the British Legal Awards and stand alongside some of the industry’s best-known firms.
We’ve had a fantastic year at gunnercooke, going from strength to strength and this award win is a testament to the outstanding lawyers and customer service that we offer.”
The firm now has a presence across the US, Germany and Hungary and we have recently launched gcCrescendo, an initiative that helps support purpose-led business founders, as well as our first bookshop, House of Books & Friends, which aims to tackle loneliness in the community.
