Mark Quigley, managing partner of Sintons, said: “For over 120 years, we have been regarded in the highest terms for the quality of our legal advice coupled with an outstanding personal service, and we are delighted this has again been recognised by Legal 500, which provides an independent assessment of the legal landscape in the North of England. To be praised for our work throughout the firm is an excellent and well-deserved endorsement of the efforts of our team.
