Five Fantastic Lawyers Recognised in UK’s Most Trusted Legal Directory 2025
Glasgow, UK – Wednesday 20th August 2025 – Five Fantastic Lawyers, one of the UK’s leading lawyer ratings directories, has been recognised by SME News as the Most Trusted Legal Directory 2025 in the UK. The award highlights the platform’s growing role as a trusted source for individuals and businesses looking to find the best lawyers across a wide range of practice areas.
Founded in 2010, Five Fantastic Lawyers has established itself as a reliable and transparent legal directory. The site publishes curated “Fantastic Five” shortlists of top-rated law firms in areas such as personal injury law, employment law, family law, commercial and business litigation, immigration law, conveyancing, and road traffic law.
Unlike many larger law directories that feature thousands of listings, Five Fantastic Lawyers uses a selective approach. Each firm is assessed against five strict criteria: reputation, verified reviews, professional history, experience, and client trust.
Importantly, law firms cannot buy their way into the core “Fantastic Five” lists, ensuring that the directory remains independent and credible. Enhanced listings are offered only to firms already selected.
“Winning this award is a milestone for Five Fantastic Lawyers,” said Gav Ward, Founder of Five Fantastic Lawyers. “When people are searching online for the best lawyer or most trusted law firm, clarity and independence are critical. Our goal has always been to provide one of the most reliable lawyer ratings directories in the UK. We’re grateful to SME News for recognising that mission.”
Globally, the top legal rankings and lawyer directories include The Legal 500, Chambers and Partners, Martindale-Hubbell, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, Avvo, and ReviewSolicitors. Five Fantastic Lawyers complements these established platforms by offering a practice-specific, city-focused, and client-friendly legal directory model.
With over 5,000 legal articles published and more than 3,000 firms listed, Five Fantastic Lawyers continues to expand as one of the UK’s most valuable law directories for those seeking high-quality legal advice and representation.
