Taylor Rose celebrates success in The Legal 500 2025!

We are thrilled to announce that Taylor Rose has once again achieved recognition in the 2025 Legal 500 publication, with three of our departments earning top accolades.

In this year’s edition, we are delighted to have received our first ranking for  ‘East Anglian, Contentious Trusts & Probate’. This impressive milestone aligns both our South East and East Anglia Contentious Trusts and Probate teams with a tier 3 ranking.

Sharon Macaulay, Partner & Joint Head of Contentious Probate shared her thoughts on the achievement, stating: “I am delighted that Taylor Rose’s Peterborough office has been listed in The Legal 500 for their Contentious Probate work for the very first time. This is a fantastic result in itself but to obtain a ranking at Tier 3 from not being listed at all is testimony to the hard work and dedication of the team. It is also a great personal achievement for both myself and Jack Bristowe. We’re excited to keep growing and building on this success in the years ahead, ensuring our clients receive the best possible outcomes during challenging times.”

Meanwhile, our Contentious Probate department, for the fifth consecutive year, has celebrated with a Tier 3 ranking in the South East. Wendy Rixon, Partner and Joint Head of Contested Probate expressed her excitement: “We are delighted to be ranked for the fifth year running in The Legal 500 for the South East region. This reflects the hard work, specialism and dedication of the Contested Probate Team.”

She continued: “The team as a whole should be very proud of this achievement and we look forward to continuing to grow the team and build on this success in the coming years in order to continue to provide an excellent and committed service to our clients to achieve the best possible outcome for them at difficult times in their lives.”

Our Clinical negligence and Personal Injury teams have successfully maintained their tier 4 ranking in London with an additional tier 2 ranking for Clinical Negligence in the South East, with several standout lawyers being recommended.

Lauren Phillips, Partner & Head of Medical Negligence added: “I am very pleased to see that the Clinical Negligence team at Taylor Rose have maintained their rankings as specialists and leaders in the field in this year’s Legal 500 publication for both London and the South East. We are a small but highly experienced team who put their clients at the forefront of everything we do so it is extremely satisfying that our dedication and commitment is recognised by our peers and other leaders in the field.”

She continued: “It has been a hugely successful year for the team which has also seen our numbers grow with the key hires of Sonia Fu in Bath and Laura Sylvester in London. The depth of our knowledge and experience has also been recognised with the appointment of both Andrew Bentham and Sarah Corbett to the AvMA Specialist Clinical Negligence Panel alongside myself and Laura Sylvester; not to mention Jacqui Hayat who is on the Law Society Clinical Negligence Panel taking our specialist panel memberships to five across the department. This, alongside our ranking in the Legal 500 will hopefully give our clients the assurance and confidence they need knowing that those representing them are experts and leaders in the field.”

Caroline Kempster, Partner & Joint Head of Personal Injury said: “We are delighted to have retained  our well-earned standing in Tier 4 London.  We are a solid team with excellent experience and we are committed to helping out clients every step of the way.”

Adrian Jaggard, CEO said: “Congratulations to the 5 departments and individuals mentioned in The Legal 500. Being recognised in this esteemed guide is an outstanding accomplishment and a reflection of the dedication and hard work of both our teams and individuals. It underscores our commitment to placing clients at the heart of everything we do and consistently delivering exceptional service.”

He continued: “We extend our sincere thanks to our clients and contacts for their support and recommendations. At Taylor Rose, we remain focused on what truly matters, and these rankings validate the progress and direction we strive to achieve.”

A huge congratulations to everyone at Taylor Rose for this fantastic achievement in The Legal 500 2025 rankings! Here’s to continued success and excellence across the board!
