The awards are based on the Legal 500’s intensive research of UK firms across 16 categories and highlights the winner’s contribution to a particular area.
Taylor Vinters emerged as winner in the regional category, beating thousands of law firms from across the country to attain the title, and was commended for its successful repositioning of the firm with international capabilities. Law firm DLA Piper won the national/international award for the TMT category.
Legal 500 UK Award winners will attend an invitation-only celebratory dinner at the East and West Crypts of the London Guildhall on 10 November 2015.
John Read, Editor of The Legal 500 UK, says: “We felt that Taylor Vinters’ continued repositioning as an international firm focused largely on tech-related work is paying off. The firm is bringing work into the Cambridge team through London and Singapore, while also retaining its excellent standing in the local technology cluster.
"Our awards are very different to most, if not all, others, in that we decide them based on the flexible criteria of which firms have impressed our research team for their contribution to a particular area.
Over many months of thorough painstaking research, we have conducted thousands of interviews with law firms, sets and in-house counsel in the UK to pinpoint the most capable, expert firms operating at the top of their game.”
Matt Meyer, Chief Executive of Taylor Vinters, says: “It’s a real compliment to have been recognised by the Legal 500 as a leading TMT firm, acknowledging our deep understanding of the challenges and visionary ambitions of technology clients.
"We believe a new breed of client is emerging – those who are carving their own niche in fast-moving sectors such as FinTech, FashTech, MedTech, Digital Media and beyond – who demand much more than the traditional law firm offering. In response, Taylor Vinters has reconfigured its business model over the past 18 months, placing considerable emphasis on the use of cutting-edge technology in our service delivery.
"This award from the Legal 500 recognises the successful repositioning of our firm as well as the quality of our work in this important and flourishing sector.”
