Moore Law recognised as Brighton’s only TMT firm -
We are very pleased to announce that the 2017 edition of the Legal 500, the peer-review guide to the UK legal profession, has not only again ranked Moore Law as a leading firm in the South East but has this year elevated our status and ranked us in two new areas of practice.
Since the firm’s launch in 2012, Moore Law has been ranked every year by the_ Legal 500_ and remains the only Brighton-based firm to be ranked for its Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) expertise.
This year the firm has moved up the rankings in TMT, with individual rankings in Intellectual Property, Sport and for the first time Media & Entertainment. We are also, for the first time, ranked as a leading firm for our expertise in Corporate & Commercial legal services.
The Legal 500 rankings place us alongside and above many of the largest and longest-established firms in the South East:
