Fraser Dawbarns recommended in Legal 500 2027
The 2027 Legal 500 rankings published today continue to endorse Fraser Dawbarns as a recommended law firm in King’s Lynn, Ely, Wisbech, March and Downham Market and the surrounding areas.
Commercial legal advice recommendations
Our solicitors and legal teams are commended by the independent reviewers for their expertise in a wide range of matters. These include the business-focused disciplines of Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property and Property Litigation. Feedback given to the L500 researchers in these areas included:
“The Commercial Litigation team at Fraser Dawbarns is first class. Its members have an impressive combination of sound legal knowledge and commercial acumen”.
“I use Fraser Dawbarns for nearly all my commercial and residential property work. Their strengths are (a) reasonable on price, (b) very good at client communications and explaining if there are issues and why, and (c) good interpersonal skills.”
(Property Litigation) “Very knowledgeable and pragmatic, organized, solutions-based, very thorough advice, fully explaining options, risks, and outcomes.”
The firm is noted once again this year for its expertise in Agriculture & Estates, with the L500 editorial commentary stating: “Fraser Dawbarns continues to grow its client base for agriculture law matters and has strong relationships with local agricultural agents and accountants with large farming practices. Farm sale and purchase, tax planning, and renewable energy developments are three core offerings for the team, which is headed by agriculture law specialist Daniel Ball.”
Individual client services recommended
Personal Tax, Trusts and Probate work has been a core strength of the Fraser Dawbarns’ team for many years and this is reflected in this year’s Legal 500 commentary which states; “A broad presence in East Anglia gives the private client practice at Fraser Dawbarns local links to a spread of clients, from high-net-worth individuals, academics, and entrepreneurs, to businesses and families. Sarah Lamb oversees the department from Wisbech, while Seema Solanki in Ely is an expert across estate and succession planning, drawing on a wealth of experience in working with executors, attorneys, and trustees. Kim Neal and Danielle Dennis-Betts are among a deep pool of younger talent.”
The experienced Family Law team continues to be recommended, with the editorial team reporting that “Fraser Dawbarns‘ family law offering is a strong local option for East Anglia clients requiring counsel on high-net-worth divorce and pre-nuptial agreements involving business or agricultural assets, complex children matters, cohabitation agreements, and TOLATA applications.”
Last but not least, the firm continues to receive endorsement for its personal injury claim services. While this is not an area of law that anyone wishes to need, it is a very important and valuable service when accidents do occur. The editors recommend “Neil John, who is a highly regarded local name in personal injury claims, with a particularly strong niche in motorcycle accident matters. John also acts in a range of cases involving complex and life-changing injuries.”
Looking ahead
Iain Grimes, Fraser Dawbarns’ Managing Partner, adds: “We are continually seeking to expand the breadth and depth of our legal teams, and it is rewarding to see this reflected in the commentary of the independent reviewers at Legal 500. We have recruited important new additions to many of our teams recently and have others in the pipeline, so we are confident that our Legal 500 endorsements will be even stronger in future years”.
