Legal 500 rates BLP 'most-improved firm'

BLP has done exceptionally well in The Legal 500 2007 rankings recently published.

The firm is listed in 65 categories with nine first tier rankings and six new or re-entries, and it has moved up in 14 tiers. In its general description of the firm, The Legal 500 says: “This year's most-improved firm is unquestionably Berwin Leighton Paisner ... The secret of its success lies in its ability to attract top lawyers from other leading firms, lured by strong profitability and excellent management. It has been pre-eminent in commercial property for some time, but has proved unequivocally in recent years that it is far from a one-trick pony, and even won private client team of the year at the 2007 Legal Business awards.  It is set to comfortably become a top-ten firm in the next few years.”

Managing Partner Neville Eisenberg said:

“This shows that our focus on developing talented individuals within the firm and recruiting the brightest and best is being recognised in the market.”
