Independent research has placed Thrings third among the South West’s most recommended law firms.

The ranking comes from Legal 500’s annual client survey, which asks the question: “On a scale of 0-10, how likely are you to recommend this firm?”. Responses are then used to calculate a client satisfaction score that can be compared against other practices.

With almost 11,000 responses, Thrings’ high ranking demonstrates its ongoing commitment to delivering growth and success for its clients, acting as a trusted adviser on all professional and personal legal matters and using its vast sector expertise to forge long-lasting working relationships that go beyond a single transaction.

To be included in the list, firms need to hold multiple rankings in the Legal 500’s prestigious directory. In the 2026 edition, Thrings was recognised in 17 departmental rankings – including Tier 1 places for Agriculture and Family – with a further 12 lawyers ranked individually.

The firm has also repeatedly been acknowledged by Legal 500 as one of the best law firms in the country to train new lawyers in its Future Lawyers guide.

Simon Holdsworth, Managing Partner at Thrings, said, “Nothing matters more to us as a firm than our clients and the quality of service we provide them. In today’s legal market, clients have more choice than ever before and having their confidence in us confirmed independently with a result like this really means a lot.

“It tells us that clients not only trust the advice we provide but is a testament to the strength of the relationships we have built, and I want to congratulate each and every one of my colleagues for this recognition. To our clients, we say a massive thank you for continuing to place your trust in Thrings.”

Praising Thrings and the other firms ranked, Amy Ulliott, UK editor at Legal 500, said, “in a highly competitive legal market, there is no stronger endorsement than a client’s willingness to recommend their law firm.”

She added that the analysis provides “a unique insight into the firms earning the highest levels of trust and advocacy from the people they serve”.

Thrings has offices in Bath, Bristol, Swindon, London, Lydney, Romsey and Ross on Wye.
