19 April 2022 |

Cox Yeats Attorneys is delighted to announce that the firm has been recognised by The Legal 500 in two categories in 2022, namely Shipping and Transport and Construction. 

Through an annual comprehensive research programme, The Legal 500 analyses and ranks the capabilities of law firms across the world. The rankings are based on a series of criteria, but the overall goal is to highlight the practice area teams who are providing the most cutting edge and innovative advice to corporate counsel. Its focus is on the bench strength of the team (including partners and associates), and the consistency of quality of the individuals within the team. The research is based on feedback from 300,000 clients worldwide, submissions from law firms and interviews with leading private practice lawyers, and a team of researchers who have unrivalled experience in the legal market. A law firm can only get into the ranking tables and commentary on merit.
Cox Yeats is known for its boldness and, over the years, has set industry benchmarks by changing perceptions and giving fresh and innovative counsel. The firm aims to provide practical and imaginative solutions to clients’ problems, and to present what can often be complex topics in clear and non-technical ways.
