Several law firms made it onto this year’s Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For.

The annual survey ranks Britain’s employers in accordance with the results of an anonymous questionnaire filled out by its employers.

Leading the way for the legal profession in the mid-sized companies list is Exeter law firm, Stephens Scown, with 273 staff. It made 12th place, up from number 39 last year.

London firm Mishcon de Reya was hot on its heels, at 17th on the list, down from number seven last year. White-collar criminal specialist Kingsley Napley rose to 23rd, up from 38th place.

Bath firm Withy King came in 45th place, slightly down from number 42. London firm Withers came in at 61, up from number 77 last year. Mills & Reeve hovered in 74th place, marginally down from last year’s 72.

Finally, hitting the ground running, congratulations are due to new entrants Lewis Silkin at number 76, and Southport firm Fletchers Solicitors at number 82.
