GQS Solicitors have been ranked as a Top Tier firm in the area of Criminal Defence in the 2021 edition of Chambers and Partners- a Client’s Guide to the UK Legal Profession. This is one of the leading independent directories of UK legal services, identifying the leading firms in the UK.
The Legal 500 is widely regarded as a definitive list of leading UK and worldwide law firms and to be awarded its listing GQS Solicitors had to undergo a thorough and rigorous ranking process.
This included interviews with key employees, clients, and contacts, a detailed analysis of the firm’s specialist areas of practice, and the submission of specific examples of work undertaken in the preceding year.
The Legal 500 concluded that GQS “is an excellent firm, particularly for difficult and substantial fraud cases. The lawyers are reliable, highly organised, warm and approachable”.
“All of the work is done to a high standard, the lawyers have many new cases referred to them from previous happy clients. They are involved in some of the biggest cases not only in the Midlands but also at Southwark.”
“The team is efficient and incredibly busy. The lawyers are sought out by clients up and down the country to conduct their cases‘
“The lawyers are very hardworking and talented individuals but yet approachable”
