Sharpe Pritchard has once again been recognised by Legal 500 as a leading public law firm, reaffirming its position as one of the UK’s foremost experts in the sector.

The newly published Legal 500 rankings recognise the firm’s work within a wide range of practice areas, including several improved rankings and a newly recognised area of expertise for its support of the water industry.

The guide once again also honours several of Sharpe Pritchard’s talented partners and lawyers, including Alastair Lewis, who retains his position in the Hall of Fame for Infrastructure, and Emyr Thomas, recognised as a Leading Partner in Electoral and Infrastructure services.

Roseanne Serrelli has been named a Leading Partner for Local Government matters, and Rachel Murray-Smith has earned a new recommendation as a Next Generation Partner for her expertise in Non-Contentious Construction services.

Additionally, Nicola Sumner is recognised for the first time as a Leading Partner for her knowledge and work within Infrastructure: Project Finance and Development.

The 2025 guide also highlights more than 20 of Sharpe Pritchard’s solicitors, acknowledging their expertise and commitment to delivering high-quality legal services.

Another key achievement in the 2025 Legal 500 Guide is the firm’s ranked improvements in the following areas:

  • Administrative and public law – now ranked Tier 5
  • Local government – now ranked Tier 1
  • Planning – now ranked Tier 3

However, the work of its Partners and solicitors within the water industry has also earned the firm its first ranking for Projects, energy and natural resources: Water.

Alongside these improvements, Sharpe Pritchard also continues to be recommended for its work in:

  • Administrative and public law
  • Local government
  • Commercial property: development
  • Construction: contentious
  • Construction: non-contentious
