Edward Cooke ranked as one of The Times Best Law Firms 2025

We are thrilled to announce that we have been ranked as one of just 250 law firms in the country in The Times Best Law Firms 2025

The list showcases the top 250 family law firms in England and Wales and is researched by Independent international market research company Statista and published as a Special Report by The Times each year.

The list is compiled following a survey of over 4,300 solicitors and barristers across England, Wales and Scotland and details the top 250 legal firms across all sectors in England and Wales plus the top 20 firms in Scotland. Solicitors and barristers are asked to recommend the best law firms in any of 28 categories, across business, public and private-client fields. Those with the most votes are included in The Times Best Law Firms 2025. 

Edward Cooke commented: 

"As a small, niche firm, it is tremendous news to hear we have been recognised by peers across England and Wales as a leading firm nationally. Our experience across complex and high-net-worth cases, mediation, and in particular child-inclusive and hybrid mediation, and other non-court dispute resolution and fertility law see a growing number of direct clients as well as specialist referrals from other often much bigger firms. We are delighted that our approach and depth of experience in these areas has led to our inclusion in this prestigious list, voted for by lawyers.

We continue to invest in growing and nurturing our team in a way that supports our ethos and delivers modern family law solutions to individuals and families whatever their circumstances - from those in highly acrimonious situations who require fresh thinking to resolve deadlock and move the process forward, to those who are predominantly keen to settle matters in as straightforward and amicable a way as possible.

Whilst some of our cases do of course end up in court, and we robustly support clients through this process, we are seeing an overwhelming shift in the approach to family law for which our expertise is sought out by lawyers and embraced by clients, whether for complex international surrogacy matters, or for separations. I'm so proud we are continuing to make a name for ourselves in this specialist area of law. Well done to the whole team, and many thanks to all those who nominated us."
