Nottingham based firm Rothera Dowson has retained its place in the Legal 500, receiving recommendations for seven areas of its work.

Entries were also received for the firm’s family, charities, agriculture and estates, commercial property, commercial litigation and personal tax, trusts and probate departments.

Partner Ann-Marie Bowman was described as being “excellent for children matters” and divorce solicitor Lorna Sear was highlighted for her “sensitive but practical” manner. Collaborative lawyer Paul Cobb was also singled out for his “top-drawer service” and “understated, reassuring presence”.
