McCormicks Wins Praise in Top Legal Guide
Peter McCormick OBE
McCormicks Solicitors of Harrogate has been described as “unique” in one testimonial in the newly-published Legal 500, the leading guide to the legal profession.
The guide’s quote from a client states: “The practice is unique in that they make you feel like the most important client, nothing is too much trouble and you never need to chase or wait longer than is expected.” It is just one of many testimonials that highlight the practice’s skill and service in the 19 areas of law for which it is recommended.
Senior Partner, Peter McCormick OBE, is once again listed in the elite “Leading Lawyers” section which highlights outstanding lawyers nationwide. Both Peter and consultant Neil Goodrum are also in the Hall of Fame for London, with Peter highlighted for Sport and Neil for Mediators. Partner Phil Edmondson wins a place in the Next Generation Partners list for Sport.
Peter is also listed as a Leading Individual for Sport in Yorkshire and Humber, while Philip Edmondson is a Leading Individual for Sport in London.

Peter McCormick said: “The UK Legal 500 bases much of its rankings research on the views of clients and we are delighted that we have been able to continue to provide such a high level of service during the past year with all its challenges of working from home and being unable to meet in person. This underlines our strength as a team!”
