Now ranked 154th, placing the firm within the top 1.2% of solicitor firms across the UK, we continue to gain momentum in the UK 200 Independents Report, strengthening our position among the UK's leading independent practices.
The UK 200 Independents Report is an annual ranking and analysis of independent law firms in the UK, published by The Lawyer, a leading legal industry publication.
It forms part of The Lawyer's UK 200, which examines the largest law firms operating in the UK legal market.
Having first entered the rankings in 2019, the firm has now climbed 33 places, securing our highest position to date. The latest result reflects the firm's ambitious regional growth, investment in people and ongoing focus on operational excellence, while successfully maintaining our independence in an increasingly consolidated legal market.
Commenting on the firm's latest achievement, Martyn Hall, Chief Financial Officer at Sills & Betteridge, said:
“Moving up to 154th is a significant achievement and a reflection of the progress we continue to make as a firm. Since first entering the rankings, we have remained focused on delivering sustainable growth, expanding our presence across Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the East Midlands.
Maintaining our independence while growing in an increasingly competitive and consolidating legal market is something we are particularly proud of. This latest result recognises the collective contribution of our people and the strength of the business we are continuing to build.”
The UK 200 Independents Report is widely recognised as a key benchmark for the business of law, providing an in-depth assessment of the performance of independent UK law firms. Based on rigorous analysis, the rankings consider a range of financial, operational and people-focused measures, offering valuable insight into the strength, resilience and effectiveness of firms operating in an evolving legal landscape.
