Doing the directory double!

So, there was quite a song and dance last week when the Legal 500 2025 landed. This week, it’s the turn of the Chambers guide, and with rankings in both directories for, well, as long as we can remember, we’re shining the Greenwoods’ spotlight on our fabulous Employment team.

Under the leadership of John Macaulay, the team provides market-leading strategic and technical advice to multiple blue-chip and nationally recognised organisations.  But don’t take our word for it, here’s how Legal 500 describes John’s team.

“Practice head John Macaulay in Peterborough has built one of the largest groups of employment lawyers in East Anglia, with key partner Keith Williams and, in Cambridge, partner Joanna Scally and senior associates Natalie Williams and Siobhan Thomson among the standout practitioners. Scally is a key adviser to university colleges and independent schools.”

We were particularly pleased to see Natalie and Siobhan highlighted, and we couldn’t agree more; they are absolutely ‘standout practitioners’.

Delivering what clients need drives the team, and this success provides even more motivation to deliver the brilliant technical skills and stellar service they are well known for.

We’re encouraging team members to take a moment to celebrate their consistent success but they’re busy preparing for the raft of new employment legislation on the way as a result of the change of government. Spoiler alert: they have a neat way to help HR professionals stay up to date. Subscribe to our Employment Law Now update service to ensure you receive insightful commentary on the changes and what you need to do. Here’s the link.

What means the world to the team are the comments clients have made about working with them, for example:

‘They are pragmatic and diligent, weighing up and recommending a clear direction supported by confidence inspiring advice.’

‘Always willing to help and extremely collaborative. The team provides sound advice and always delivers on time.’

‘The whole team really take the time to understand our unique working environment. Training forums are also incredibly useful and relevant.’

We are so grateful that our busy clients find time to give feedback to the directory researchers.  So, to everyone who did, a heartfelt thank you, it really does mean so much.
