Celebrating further recognition in Chambers High Net Worth guide

19 July 2024

Once again, two of our senior partners and a key department have been recognised by Chambers High Net Worth guide, which recommends the “go-to” professional advisors for high-net-worth individuals.

Along with 2024 recognition, we are celebrating nine years of being featured in this prestigious independent guide.

Partner and head of the wills, trusts & probate team, Simon Cook has featured in every edition of the guide since it was first published in 2016, while partner and head of litigation & dispute resolution, Paul Gordon has been ranked for the sixth consecutive year.

Paul, who is described as “tactically brilliant”, has been named in the South West’s private wealth disputes category and acknowledged for being “commercially savvy, realistic with clients and very experienced.”

Simon, who recently celebrated 30 years as a solicitor, was rated in the top band for private wealth law in Cheltenham and the surrounding area. He has been described as “very approachable, affable and knowledgeable, with good manners with clients.”

Simon heads up the highly regarded wills, trusts & probate team, who were also recognised by the High Net Worth guide for their services in private wealth law and described as a “strong team that has depth at every level of seniority” with “excellent knowledge…and a broad range of skills.”

Commenting on the results, the firm’s managing partner, Bridget Redmond said: “I’d like to congratulate Paul, Simon and the wills, trusts and probate team on once again being recognised in Chambers UK’s High Net Worth guide. I’m incredibly proud of the level of service both they and their teams continue to provide year-on-year.

“Being named in this prestigious guide for almost a decade is an outstanding achievement for a firm of our size and reflects the quality and calibre of Willans’ lawyers.”

Chambers ranks law firms and lawyers globally and the High Net Worth guide is compiled following an in-depth research process by a team of independent editors who personally speak to clients and referees. Results are based on factors including expertise and legal ability, client service and satisfaction, market reputation, responsiveness and commercial vision.
