Our Reputation

The Legal 500 (2007 edition), gives top ranking to Lester Aldridge's Dispute Reolution team and states:

"Lester Aldridge LLP's litigation practice is jointly led by David Herbert and managing partner Michael Giddins (who also sits as a part-time judge).  The team has particular expertise in professional negligence claims and in obtaining emergency remedies involving fraud and the preservation of assets.  Associate Michael Veal, who recently advised Dorset Police on an enforcement action, is recommended."

Chambers (2007 edition) states:

"According to market sources, this well-organised outfit has "got its structure right, expanding efficiently and effectively."  The team acts in a wide range of commercial litigation, boasting particular expertise with respect to emergency remedies.  Along these lines, the team participated in a large cross-jurisdictional claim involving fraud allegations and applications for freezing orders and other injunctions.  International work is not unusual for the firm, which has been involved in a high-value engineering product failure claim as well as a series of warranty claims with Spanish dimensions.  Its clientele evinces a tendency towards the marine, waste and hi-tech sectors, but also includes a premiership football club."
