Kingsley Napley has scooped top place among law firms for the second year in a row, in the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For 2019 list.

The London firm came in at number 16 (15 last year) in the poll, which ranks employers according to the results of a detailed firm-wide employee survey.

The firm’s managing partner, Linda Woolley, said the ranking ‘is testimony to our commitment to value our people as much as our clients’.

Also placing in the top 100 were: Manchester firm JMW Solicitors, 21 (last year 25); Mills & Reeve, 24 (56); Exeter firm Stephens Scown, 44 (33); Mishcon de Reya, 53 (30); Freeths, 57 (new); Stewarts, 64 (60); and Edinburgh’s Morton Fraser, 84 (new). Bishop’s Stortford firm Nockolds Solicitors was ranked at 43 (24) in the best small companies list.
