Of the 204 rankings by Best Lawyers, 129 Webber Wentzel Lawyers have been recognised in 38 categories of the 14th Edition of The Best Lawyers in South Africa.
Seven lawyers were recognised for the first time, with 24 individuals appearing in new categories. These individuals were recognised not only for their legal expertise but, also for their ethics and professionalism. Every name on the list has been nominated by a client or trusted sources and is then vetted by the nation’s top 5 per cent of legal talent.
"We are proud that so many of our people have been recognised as market leaders through this peer evaluation process. We also believe that this translates into exceptional client service and the development of an exceptional category of next-generation legal service providers in the market."
Christo Els, Webber Wentzel Senior Partner.
Webber Wentzel has also been named the
2023 "Law Firm of the Year" for expertise in
Litigation.
"Law Firm of the Year" awards recognize a single top firm for its work in a specific legal practice area (nationwide). Awards are determined based on a handful of factors including lawyer ballot feedback, the firm’s significant matters submissions, the firm's coverage and scope in this practice area, historical analysis of the firm's "Lawyer of the Year" awards, and the firm's reputation as an expert in this area.
