Agricultural law specialist at Rollits receives impressive accolade
Hull Is This had a chat with Neil Franklin about this year’s UK Legal 500 rankings.
The UK Legal 500 is a globally recognised directory that ranks law firms and legal professionals based on client feedback and independent research, highlighting excellence in the legal sector. Local law firm Rollits has a longstanding association with the directory, as many of its lawyers have been included in its rankings over the decades. In fact, Ralph Gilbert, John Flanagan, Sophie Wheeldon and James Peel were all highlighted as leading practitioners in their fields in current edition.
Another member of the Rollits team Neil Franklin has also been recognised in the publication. Neil who joined Rollits in 1991 and is now head of its Agriculture team, has been recognised as a Leading Individual by the UK Legal 500 for several years, and this year he was delighted to be added to its Hall of Fame.
“It’s an honour to receive this recognition,” said Neil. “Being ranked by the UK Legal 500 is something to be very proud of, and being entered into its Hall of Fame is very exciting. I’d like to thank everyone who has recommended me over the years, as this has allowed me to achieve this major accomplishment.”
The UK Legal 500’s Hall of Fame recognises individuals who have consistently delivered outstanding service and earned repeated praise from clients and peers over the years. It is reserved for legal professionals who have been consistently recommended by clients for at least eight consecutive years which highlights their ability to deliver first class service, building trust and credibility in a highly competitive industry.
For clients, seeing a lawyer or firm listed in the UK Legal 500 serves as a strong indicator of quality and reliability. And for legal professionals such as the lawyers at Rollits, being included is a significant achievement.
The team at Hull Is This would like to congratulate Neil on being named in the Hall of Fame, as well as the other lawyers at Rollits who have been recognised by the UK Legal 500 for their hard work, expertise and legal knowledge.
