Leading UK law firm and Baker Tilly network member Freeths has been named Law Firm of the Year at the prestigious City AM Awards 2025 — less than a year after winning the same accolade at the Legal Business Awards.
A Certified B Corporation™, Freeths was recognised for its standout contribution to London’s business and financial community. Judges highlighted the firm’s ongoing work on the UK Post Office litigation, representing the sub postmasters in their fight for justice and supporting the victims of the Horizon scandal in gaining compensation.
The firm also earned praise for its sustained year-on-year double-digit growth, with revenue surpassing £160 million for the first time in 2025.
This award caps a series of high-profile successes over the past 12 months, including advising accountancy firm MHA on its £250 million listing on London’s junior stock exchange AIM and advising the founders of the UK franchise of Wingstop on the sale of a majority stake in the business to global private equity firm Sixth Street.
Last year, Freeths advised the Substantial Group management team on its merger with Brsk, to mark the largest consolidation of alternative network providers to date.
Commenting on the win, senior partner and London office managing partner, Philippa Dempster said: “What a year for Freeths! This win is such an incredible achievement and it’s a privilege to be included by the prestigious City AM within the London business and financial elite. Our lawyers persistently demonstrate an enviable tenacity through their leading work for clients. It’s this which I believe has truly shone through and clinched this accomplishment. With a culture devoted to inspiring our colleagues, clients and communities, this win motivates us to keep pushing the boundaries.”
