This year, the publication analysed survey results from nearly 100 of the largest law firms operating in the UK to work out the top 20 firms across the metrics of revenue per lawyer, racial diversity, gender partnership parity, associate satisfaction, and pro bono.

The final ‘A-List’ is designed to give clients, peers and graduates an insight into which law firms are managing to succeed across the multiple fronts of financial success, diversity and social efforts.

This is the third year in a row that Reed Smith has been named in the top 10 and it has been included in the list each year since its inception.

Andrew Jenkinson, Reed Smith’s London office managing partner, said: “We are proud to have made the top ten for the third year running. It’s testament to the uniquely accessible, down-to-earth and inclusive culture that we have in our UK offices.
