Our Awards and Rankings

Back to About Us

At Harrison Drury, we recognise the importance of independent endorsement for our clients as it provides you with the assurance that we are as good as we claim to be as well as illustrating our areas of strength and expertise.

We understand that clients have an array of choice when appointing a law firm and want to make it as easy as possible for you to be able to make an informed choice on who you trust with your legal services as well as be reassured that we will live up to the expectations we set.

The firm and many of our team members are recommended in the Legal 500, a leading independent legal directory and guide to the UK’s top legal firms and solicitors. We are recognised for our legal expertise and client service across a range of different practice areas. The Legal 500 has acted as a guide to clients on the best law firms, lawyers, solicitors and barristers in over 150 jurisdictions around the world for over three decades. To be included, firms undergo rigorous analysis which includes interviews and feedback from clients and professional peers which is reviewed by a panel of experts.

As an illustration of our commitment to looking after our staff, our most valuable asset, Harrison Drury was consistently ranked in the prestigious Sunday Times ‘Best Small Companies to Work for’ for three consecutive years.

Then, in 2023, the firm was recognised in the Best Companies top 100 Mid-sized firms to work for in the UK, illustrating the firm’s ability to maintain the best possible working culture through a period of significant growth. The Best Companies mark has long been a trusted barometer of how an organisation engages with its staff because it is based wholly on employee feedback. Conducted confidentially by the Best Companies team, employees are asked questions based on eight engagement factors like leadership, pay, wellbeing and other aspects of company life.

Harrison Drury has twice been the recipient of the Legal Business of the Year Award at Lancashire’s Red Rose Awards, organised and judged by business magazine Lancashire Business View, first in 2017 and subsequently in 2020. These awards recognise Harrison Drury’s standing in the North West region as a law firm of choice for businesses and individuals in the area.
