White & Black has again been ranked across all departments in the Legal 500 2025 rankings.
Seeing our Lawyers recognised in the prestigious Legal 500 Rankings, alongside some of the biggest law firms in the world, is always great. One of the best things about the rankings is hearing from our clients about their experience working with the White & Black team. Here are just a few of our favourites:
“The thing that sets them apart is that their starting point for any dispute is to look at what the overall commercial objectives are. Any litigation strategy is then designed to best support and deliver these commercial objectives, rather than litigation being a goal in and of itself.“
“They understand businesses and what drives them. They also understand the impact that litigation can have on a business (e.g. in sucking up management time and resources) irrespective of the outcome.”
“I’ve never had a single poor experience – a truly top-rate firm.“
“Phil Thompson is an amazing lawyer. He has a deep understanding of the telecom sector and its regulations. He is very proactive and responsive.”
