A year of progress

Tier 1 is the highest ranking awarded by Legal 500 and marks an important milestone for Redkite's Commercial Litigation team, positioning it among the leading practices in the Welsh legal market.

The firm's first-ever ranking in Corporate & Commercial is equally significant. Entering the guide at Tier 2 underlines the team’s credentials in a highly competitive practice area, often dominated by larger regional and national firms.

As a strategically important area for the business, the result also reflects Redkite's continued investment in its business services offering and growing profile across Wales and the South West.

Neil Walker, Redkite CEO, says: "These results show the progress we've made as a firm and, most importantly, the quality of work our teams deliver for clients every day.

"To achieve our first Tier 1 ranking is a significant moment for Redkite. Alongside the new recognition for our Corporate & Commercial team and improvements in Family and Employment, these results are testament to the expertise, ambition and commitment shown by colleagues across the business.

"We’re incredibly proud to see this progress recognised by Legal 500 and truly grateful to our clients for their continued trust and support."

Rhian Davies, Partner & Head of Commercial Litigation, adds: "Achieving a Tier 1 ranking for our Commercial Litigation team is a brilliant result and a real credit to the hard work and expertise of our team."

"We're proud to help clients navigate complex disputes and challenging situations, and it's particularly rewarding to see the team placed among the leading practices in Wales.

“Client feedback is an important part of the Legal 500 research process, and we’re grateful to everyone who took the time to share their experience. We’re looking forward to building on this success as Redkite continues to grow.”
