Stone King, which was founded in Bath in 1785 and is still headquartered in the beautiful city today, has been recognised by The Times as a Best Law Firm for 2025. This is the seventh year in a row that the firm has been recognised in this way.
Two of Stone King’s specialist practice areas have been singled out by The Times for their particularly positive feedback: charity and dispute resolution. The firm’s Charity Sector has received this accolade every year since 2019 and continues to be ranked in the top three for the whole country, while this is the second time the Dispute Resolution Team has been named by The Times; a huge vote of confidence as the team grows and goes from strength to strength.
The Times Best Law Firms 2025 recognises the most highly regarded law firms as recommended by legal professionals. It is entirely peer-reviewed by individuals who fill out an anonymous survey through Statista, a company that specialises in data gathering and visualisation.
Alison Allen, Stone King’s Chair, said: “At Stone King, we pride ourselves on our ethos of understanding our clients’ needs, being good listeners and looking at the big picture, and the fact that this has been recognised by our peers in the legal industry through The Times Best Law Firms, for the seventh year in a row, feels like a real achievement! I’d like to thank everyone at Stone King for such consistently high quality work. Well done all.”
Stone King lawyers act for hundreds of charities across the sector, from household names, including many of the largest charities in the UK, through to local community groups.
The firm’s Dispute Resolution Team represents clients in many complex, high-value, and multi-jurisdictional disputes in the courts, in the tribunals and in alternative dispute resolution forums, including mediation.
