Banner Jones – a law firm with an office in Mansfield – is celebrating after its family law and personal injury teams received a Tier 2 ranking in this year’s Legal 500, the eighth successive year that the firm has received the prestigious acknowledgement of its services.

The Legal 500 assesses the strengths of law firms across the world. The latest 2021 guide states that the firm’s family law team ‘are all extremely competent, always well prepared, very skilled advocates’ whilst the Personal Injury team were praised for being ‘happy to think outside the box’ and for how they ‘value the client as an individual’.

In addition, six of the firm’s solicitors have been listed by Legal 500 as a ‘Recommended Lawyer’. They include head of family law Kelly Parks, head of personal injury and chief executive Simon Wright (pictured), head of care Vice Beckworth, personal injury solicitor Robert Banner, family law solicitor Shetal Gudgeon and care proceedings consultant solicitor Peter Jones.

Sarah Sadler, a chartered legal executive in the firm’s personal injury team, was also recognised for her efficiency and excellent communication skills.

Kelly said: “The continued hard work of both our family and care teams mean once again we have maintained this prestigious acknowledgment for our work in supporting domestic violence abuse cases, divorce settlements and childcare arrangements.

“I’m am incredibly grateful for the commitment and robust offering which our team continues to match on a year by year basis.”

Simon added: “At Banner Jones we understand that many of our clients have experienced significant trauma and it is our job to ensure that when making a Personal Injury claim the process is as smooth and timely as possible.

“I would like to thank the team for once again proving we are leading specialists within the personal injury realm.”
