Two practice areas of West Midlands and Black Country law firm Enoch Evans LLP have been included in the Legal 500 UK 2020 rankings, with its company and commercial department making the cut for the fourth year and its commercial litigation expertise recognised for the second time. 

 

The national guide ranks the world’s best practices and is used as a point of reference by millions of people in search of legal advice each year. The ranking is based on detailed analysis of submissions from practices across the country as well as thousands of individual interviews. The ranking recognises the quality of work as well as the commitment and loyalty of staff; attributes that are vital when dealing with difficult and sensitive issues experienced by individuals and commercial or corporate entities.  

 

The Legal 500 also includes a Hall of Fame in recognition of individuals that receive consistent praise from clients and have honed a high level of skill and knowledge within their specific area of expertise. Enoch Evans LLP’s Sukie Shemar was named for corporate and commercial services for the fourth time and partner Stephen Nixon was also named for the second time in relation to commercial litigation.  

 

David Evans, managing partner at Enoch Evans LLP, said: “Our whole team prides itself on its ability to understand client's individual needs and with COVID-19 causing complications and unrest for businesses and individuals throughout the year, a personal and tailored approach has been more important than ever. We’re delighted that the respected Legal 500 ranking again recognises our consistent delivery of this service to clients both current and new.”  

 

Sukie Shemar, partner and head of company and commercial at Enoch Evans LLP, said: “We’re delighted that our clients have said that, yet again, they recognise and value our commitment to providing the best service to them. In what has been a turbulent year for everyone, we have really focussed on providing a bespoke and personal level of service to communicate that our team is consistently there to provide advice and support as needed.”

“On a personal note, it’s great to have been mentioned specifically and receive some lovely comments from clients. I’m thrilled to have been named in 2020’s cohort.”

 

Stephen Nixon, partner and head of commercial litigation at Enoch Evans LLP, said: “I am very proud of the whole team for the high quality of service that we have continually offered to our clients. The comments and testimonials that we have received are testaments to the team’s dedication and hard work and we look forward to building on that.”
