For the fourth year running Wiltshire-based law firm, Goughs Solicitors has been ranked as a Leading Firm with a number of Recommended Lawyers by the prestigious Legal 500 2022 guide.


The Legal 500 is widely regarded as the leading guide to both UK and worldwide law firms. Not all firms obtain a listing within the guide. Inclusion is based on an independent assessment of the firm using a combination of research and client feedback.


This year, three areas of the firm have been specifically identified within the guide; Real Estate, Family and Private Client. Each of the departments and a number of the individuals within them have received commendable feedback.


Many of the firms’ clients were contacted by The Legal 500 to report on the services they received, and comments on that included “first-rate”, “excellent” and “second to none”. The firm was described as “an outstanding multi-site rural practice offering city firm quality” yet “reasonably priced with their fees” and “nice people to deal with”.


Many individuals within the firm were also credited with being “very capable” and “highly skilled in their field”, treating their clients “with professionalism” and “fairly and equally whatever the circumstance”.


Upon the release of the rankings, Partner and member of the Family team, Ross Phillips, commented

"First of all, a huge congratulations to our Private Client and Real Estate departments for the recognition they well deserve. These lawyers really do go above and beyond, and genuinely care about their clients and getting to know them, and what makes their businesses tick. It is not just another job for them.

We are delighted that our Family teams’ commitment to providing an excellent service and supportive experience to our clients, often going through the most difficult time in their lives, has been recognised again. The Family team has a strength in depth and leadership that is unrivalled in the Wiltshire market."


Andrew Given, Partner and Head of the Land and Development team which sits within the Real Estate Team, added,

"I’m incredibly proud of the team. We have worked so hard to build up a serious reputation for pragmatic, accessible and expert legal advice, it’s very satisfying to be recognised for this. A testament to the quality of our lawyers."
