All SIX of BPE’s teams rank in the Legal 500

BPE is proud to confirm that their Commercial Litigation team has ranked Tier 1 by the Legal 500 again – an achievement they have maintained for over 10 years in a row. This year, the Tier 1 ranking was only achieved by two other firms in Gloucestershire, Somerset and Wiltshire.

The team, lead by Riyaz Jariwalla, boasts four ranked lawyers in the Commercial Litigation category too. Riyaz has further been ranked as a Leading Partner in Commercial Litigation, alongside Philip Radford. Joining them as Next Generation Partners are John Carter and Peter Knibbs.

This is a particularly special year for Riyaz, as he has been promoted from a Next Generation Partner to a Leading Partner for his work in Commercial Litigation and in Intellectual Property.

As well as Commercial Litigation ranking in Tier 1, BPE ranked Tier 2 for their Commercial Property, Corporate and Commercial, and Employment teams. Intellectual Property and Private Wealth were also ranked.

Senior Partner, John Workman said “I am pleased to see that we have achieved another year of well-ranked teams at BPE. As an independent firm rooted in Gloucestershire with local, regional, national and international clients, BPE continues to punch above its weight. It is particularly pleasing to see Riyaz, John and Peter recognised – Philip has assembled a special bunch!”
