Gowling WLG has been commended in five legal categories in The Times Best Law Firms 2025.

The firm features in The Times' exclusive list of the most highly regarded law firms for a seventh consecutive year, for commercial dispute resolution (mediation, litigation, arbitration), commercial property, construction, intellectual property and planning.

The results identify the top 250 firms in England and Wales, in 26 categories of legal practice – all chosen by lawyers following a survey of the solicitors' profession and in-depth analysis by law professionals.

The 2025 report commends the firm's efforts across multiple key sectors with a spotlight on our Real Estate team's advisory role in Vistry Group's partnership deal with Leaf Living and Sage Home, our Energy team's role in Pacific Green's development, project financing and agreement project at Sheaf Energy Park, and our Life Sciences team's role in AstraZeneca's exclusive option and licence agreement with Pinetree Therapeutics.

Produced by The Times in co-operation with market researcher Statista, the entirely peer-selected results centre on a single question: "Other than your own firm, which practice would you instruct in this area of work?" The responses create a unique peer-to-peer snapshot of the legal profession, and the elite firms in their specialist fields, in in the United Kingdom today.
