Chambers, the UK’s guide to top law firms and lawyers in the UK, have recognised Baines Wilson in their prestigious guide. They are the only Corporate team in Lancaster to be featured in the guide. 

Highlighted for its strong "client-centric" approach, the Corporate team have been ranked in one of the top bands. Client’s add that "the quality of the firm's culture, service and advice all adds up to extremely good value for money.”  Another source praises the firm's approach to client service, saying: "They don't treat you as a current issue but rather support you as a long-term partner."

Andrew Hill, head of corporate and commercial, is also listed as a leading individual, ranked in Band 2.  The guide describes him as someone who is “both knowledgeable and experienced, which gives him the ability to grasp the issue and convey his advice in a simple and straightforward manner."

Chambers and Partners rankings are based on in-depth independent research including interviews with each firm’s clients.

Andrew Hill, head of corporate and commercial, commented: “We’re pleased to receive recognition in the Chambers guide again this year and are grateful to our clients for their continued support. These rankings demonstrate the quality of the legal services we provide to businesses across the North West and the strength of our team, which has been further enhanced by the appointment of Jennifer Bell. Jen has over 14 years’ experience in the field, with a particular specialism in the transport and logistics sector.”
