From regional expansion to operational excellence, Sills & Betteridge LLP’s journey is reflected in a significant rise in the UK200 Independents Report.
Since first entering the rankings in 2019, the firm has risen an impressive 30 places, now securing 157th position out of more than 9,000 UK law firms. Over the last 6 years, increased private equity investment has driven growth in the UK legal market. Throughout this period, we have maintained our independence, making our rise up the rankings all the more notable.
The UK200 Independents Report is widely regarded as a benchmark for the business of law, offering far more than a simple measure of scale. The ranking is the product of months of rigorous and impartial analysis, assessing firms on financial strength, service delivery and people-focused metrics. Its findings highlight not only how big firms are, but how effectively they operate in a rapidly evolving legal landscape.
Commenting on the firm’s rise, Martyn Hall, Chief Financial Officer at Sills & Betteridge, said:
“Advancing year on year demonstrates the firm’s collective strength and confirms we are moving in the right direction. A combination of factors has contributed to the results, but it is largely driven by the ambitious expansion strategy we’ve delivered across the East Midlands and South Yorkshire, along with continuous improvements in our working practices and operational efficiency.”
This latest ranking underscores Sills & Betteridge’s ongoing commitment to growth, innovation, and excellence in client service - and firmly cements its position as one of the UK’s leading independent law firms.
