Goughs recognised in 2027 Chambers guide
Wiltshire-based Goughs Solicitors has secured renewed recognition in the Chambers and Partners 2027 guide – retaining its departmental rankings for Family Law and Real Estate, alongside individual recognition for three leading lawyers.
The results extend to seven years of consistent recognition for the Wiltshire-based firm in one of the legal industry’s most respected independent guides.
Chambers and Partners uses independent research and interviews with clients and legal professionals to assess law firms and lawyers. Its rankings consider technical ability, client service and commercial awareness, with Band 1 the highest ranking.
The 2027 results reinforce Goughs Solicitors’ long-standing reputation for specialist expertise and personal service. The firm continues to support individuals and businesses with clear, practical advice, bringing together its legal teams to help clients address connected personal and commercial needs.
Firm Rankings for 2027
The Wiltshire firm’s Family/Matrimonial team was ranked Band 3 in the South West, while its Real Estate practice retained a Band 4 ranking. Partners Ross Phillips and Thomas Boyce were both ranked Band 3 for Family/Matrimonial, and Andrew Given received a Band 3 ranking for Real Estate.
Client and peer feedback highlighted Goughs’ technical expertise, responsive service and approachable style, with one client saying, “Goughs is adept at handling complex divorce proceedings and related financial disputes. The team regularly assists with challenging private law children cases and offers further experience in negotiating prenuptial and cohabitation agreements.”
Ross Phillips was described as “superb in terms of client care and focus on achieving excellent outcomes” and Thomas Boyce was recognised as “knowledgeable and personable,” with an “absolutely brilliant breadth of knowledge.”
Meanwhile, Andrew Given earned praise for being “commercially aware, able to see the bigger picture,” and “extremely competent.”
Commenting on the rankings, Thomas Boyce, Partner and Head of the Family Team at Goughs, said, “For clients facing a family breakdown, the quality of advice and the way it is delivered can make a lasting difference. Our focus is on giving people the clarity to make informed decisions and the confidence to move forward.
“Retaining our ranking in 2027 is a proud moment for the whole team. It reflects the care and expertise our colleagues bring to every matter and gives us fresh motivation to keep developing the service our clients value.”
Andrew Given, Partner and Head of Housebuilding & Development, added, “Our clients need advisers who understand what a property transaction means for their wider business, as well as the legal detail. We take pride in helping them navigate complexity, keep projects moving and make decisions with confidence.
“Renewed recognition in 2027 reflects the strength of those relationships and the practical, commercially focused advice our team delivers. We are grateful to the clients who place their trust in us and to the colleagues whose work has earned that recognition.”
