Collingwood Legal Rated “Top Tier” for 12th Consecutive Year

Collingwood Legal celebrates the achievement of retaining its Tier 1 ranking in the latest edition of The Legal 500 – marking 12 consecutive years at the top of the influential legal directory.

The Legal 500 is published annually following extensive research, including interviews with clients and law firms across the UK. The 2027 edition, published this October, recognises Collingwood Legal as a “specialist employment law firm recognised for handling complex and high-value matters”, highlighting its work in discrimination, TUPE, collective consultation and whistleblowing.

Managing Partner, Paul McGowan, is again recognised as a Leading Partner, Helen Scott as a Next Generation Partner, while recently promoted Partner Charlotte McBride also retains her key ranking.

Client feedback particularly highlighted the firm’s personal approach, with one client saying Collingwood Legal:

“Stands out from other firms with their very personal service.”

Paul McGowan, Managing Partner of Collingwood Legal, said:

“Reaching 12 consecutive years as a Tier 1 Firm is a milestone that means a great deal to us. When we first achieved Tier 1 status in 2016, we were still a relatively young firm. To have maintained that ranking every year since is something of which the whole team can be extremely proud.”
