Gowling WLG has been named in six legal categories in The Times Best Law Firms 2021, listed for banking & finance, commercial dispute resolution, commercial property, company and commercial, energy & renewables, and IP.

Building on the success of the firm in 2020, for which the firm was ranked in five categories, the latest ranking results identify the best 200 firms in England and Wales, in 26 categories of legal practice, as commended by other lawyers following a survey of the solicitors' profession and in-depth analysis by law professionals.

Produced by The Times in co-operation with market researcher Statista, the entirely peer-selected results are based on one question: 'Other than your own firm, which practice would you instruct in this area of work?'

Creating a unique peer to peer snapshot of the legal profession in England and Wales today, the findings for 2020 assess which law firms are top of the tree in their specialist fields.
