Ford & Warren Solicitors is an independent, full-service law firm based in Leeds. The firm offers an excellent service at very competitive rates; proving to their varied client base that they do not have to pay London city prices for a quality service. Despite catering to a host of local needs, the firm receives 70% of instructions from outside the Yorkshire area, giving the firm a national and international presence.
Recently the firm has become the sole UK member of Primerus; an international society of top-rated, independent law firms. The firm excelled in meeting the society’s high standards and demonstrating Primerus’ key necessary qualities for member firms, so much so that managing partner Keith Hearn was recently appointed as Primerus’ International Chair for the Board of Governers’ Executive Committee.
The firm’s Primerus connection gives them a distinct advantage when working on today’s international playing field, making Ford & Warren more equipped than most to assist both local and foreign clients. Recent international instructions have come from Germany, America, Canada and China.
Despite the current climate, the firm has remained in a very good position throughout the economic downturn. Where other firms have suffered, Ford & Warren has benefited due to its price advantage coming to the fore. Where clients have looked for a quality service and excellent value for money, their search has often led them to Ford & Warren.
Over the last year the firm has seen many successes. The firm continues to grow organically and attract a client base which includes FTSE 100 companies. The firm continues to rank highly within both the Legal 500 and Chambers directories particularly within the areas of employment law, transport, licensing, debt recovery, commercial litigation and personal injury defendant claims.
With a history that goes back almost 150 years, here stands a firm that has stood the test of time. The firm has always prided itself on providing its clients three key benefits: value for money, professionalism, and excellent client care. The firm’s clear ‘No Surprises’ policy provides its clients with the peace of mind that they are being represented with absolute integrity.
Ford & Warren are a firm that have built a client base on recommendation and reputation. Going forward, the firm plans to continue to play to the strengths which differentiate them from their competitors. Ford & Warren’s dedication to the identification of changing client needs, their global connection to a network of top-rated law firms and their passion for providing a client-led service at a reasonable price, continues to attract those smart companies and individuals who realise that innovative market-focussed law firms do not have to charge high fees, or be on the client’s doorstep, to deliver an unbeatable service.
