REGIONAL law firm Bridge McFarland has made its mark in the latest edition of the Legal 500 with recognition for its work and for some of its specialist lawyers in both employment and commercial litigation.

The firm is ranked in Hull and East Yorkshire for both departments and is one of only four practices in the region to secure a recommendation, with listings for all three partners in the employment law team.

The Legal 500, which is acknowledged as the world’s largest legal referral guide, commented: “The ‘pragmatic’ team at Bridge McFarland is headed by the ‘outstanding’ Lee Whiting, who handles restructuring, outsourcing and restrictive covenant matters, as well as dismissal and discrimination claims.”

The guide also recommends Nicola Barrass for her employment work and Richard Parnell for his work in technology, media and telecoms in sport.

“We are absolutely delighted to see both the firm and members of our team recommended in the Legal 500,” said Senior Partner Stephen Lambert.

“The publication is regarded as the benchmark of quality legal services by the profession and we are proud that our commercial expertise has been recognised as amongst the best in the region. Bridge McFarland is relatively new to the commercial market in Hull, so it is fantastic to be making our mark so quickly and to be ranked alongside other leading commercial practices in the city.”

“We couldn’t have achieved this recommendation without the endorsement of our clients and peers and I sincerely thank them for their support.”
