SJP Law are proud to have been ranked in three practice areas in Yorkshire and the Humber in the 2024 Legal 500 rankings:
- Private Client: Agriculture and Estates
- Personal Injury: Claimant
- Clinical Negligence: Claimant
The Legal 500 directory is an independently published guide that ranks law firm practices as well as individual solicitors through comprehensive research analysis including interviews with peers and clients.
We are delighted to be recognised in the rankings, which is a testament to our hard working teams and their delivery of excellent client service.
Agriculture and Estates
SJP’s Agriculture and Estates team were described as “experts in agriculture, with a wealth of experience to fall back on”, who had “exceptional understanding of all aspects of the agricultural sector and provide a very efficient service”. Claire Charman, Director and Head of Commercial, was described as “hugely experienced… with an impressive depth of knowledge in agriculture and estates.”
Our specialisms in corporate, commercial, and private client work, alongside the depth of experience in agriculture, means that we are able to offer a holistic service to our agricultural clients.
Clinical Negligence
Our Clinical Negligence team described as “a tight team that get fantastic results for their clients” is recognised for their expertise in handling complex injury mandates.
The team received some lovely feedback: “I have found working with the team at SJP Law easy and reassuring. I have never had to do anything like this before, and the thought of pursuing a claim was daunting. I have found the team responsive when I have called. They have always been polite, friendly, reassuring and answer questions punctually and efficiently” and Neil Holland, Director and Head of Division, was given a special mention “Neil Holland is bright, an excellent tactician and hard working. He’s also great with clients and always has his eye on the end result.”
Personal Injury
Our Personal Injury team were delighted to be recognised in this year’s rankings for their work in relation to serious injuries, covering complex and high-value orthopaedic, brain, and spinal injury claims, arising largely from road traffic accidents. The team were even more delighted with the great testimonials received:
“From the start, SJP very strongly demonstrated legal and medical knowledge/understanding; there was great attention to detail and I always felt SJP fully understood the complex nature and extent of my set of injuries. It was unmistakable how well SJP, as a smaller firm, worked closely as a team. There was clearly mutual respect and a high value associated to each member of the team. SJP provided excellent value for money, they invest in developing skilled staff and sourcing reputable experts.”
“All of the staff are very helpful and approachable at all times. They explain clearly every aspect of the process and do not make you feel under pressure.”
“The solicitor I worked with showed great compassion and empathy to my situation and went above and beyond to support and reassure me.”
We are really proud of our accomplishment this year and very grateful to receive such wonderful feedback from our clients, network of experts and barristers.
We wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to our clients and referees who took the time to participate in the interview process and provide feedback. We would also like to thank the research teams at The Legal 500 for conducting the process.
