BHP Law have been recognised for their expertise and personal service in the latest Legal 500 guide to law firms across the UK.

The practice is listed in seven different specialisms and several individual lawyers are singled out for their capability and effort on behalf of clients, both private and commercial, including Partner Peter Blackett.

Managing Partner, John Pratt said: “We are a general practice and it is really satisfying to see how high we rank in the region and the breadth of knowledge across the firm that has been recognised by these independent awards.

“Peter Blackett thoroughly deserves to be recognised as a leading figure in his field for his experience advising farming and rural clients including commercial property transactions for major land owners and property developers across the region.”

Legal 500 offers clients and others buying legal services in the UK information on practices with rankings based on detailed analysis of law firm submissions and interviews.

Only forty-six law firms in the North of England qualified to rank in this independent guide. BHP Law, which employs over 90 staff, is rated in the top quarter of practices from our offices in Darlington, Durham, Newcastle, Teesside and Tynemouth offering unique coverage of the Tyne-Tees region.

We received a listing for its work in agriculture and estates, family law, personal tax and probate, clinical negligence claims, personal injury, commercial property and debt recovery.
