Burton Copeland has once again been included in The Times Best Lawyers list for 2022. We’re delighted and proud to have been included in this list and to be ranked alongside other prestigious law firms is truly humbling.    

The Times Best Law Firms list is decided by surveying current legal professionals so the list is compiled by experts working exclusively within the legal industry. This is what makes The Times list stand apart from other yearly legal rankings, it’s decided by other solicitors!

Gaining such a great reputation from within the legal industry is something we’re immensely proud of and we think it’s a testament to our professionalism, hard work and dedication. 

This isn’t Burton Copeland’s first time in the list either. We have been included the 2019, 2020 and 2021 in the “financial crime & fraud & regulatory” category.
