We have been shortlisted in the Independent Law Firm of the Year category at The Lawyer Awards 2026.

Organised by industry publication The Lawyer, the awards recognise excellence across the UK legal profession. This includes top-performing law firms and chambers, outstanding individual lawyers and legal teams, practice areas, as well as innovation and best practice. The awards are judged by a panel of leading figures from the Bar, Private Practice and in-house legal sectors.

2025 was a defining year for Edwin Coe and marked the strongest financial performance in the firm’s history. This was achieved through strategic investment, team expansion across key practices and a refinement of the firm’s market positioning. We are proud that our B Corp accreditation informs decision-making across the business. We have invested in new technology, including AI, with clear oversight and control in place. The firm’s growth is underpinned by a strong culture and continued investment in our people. Our recent brand refresh reaffirmed our focus on Private Capital and complex Dispute resolution. Through our communications, we share how we are modern and forward-looking, while maintaining focus on our heritage and independent identity.
