Leading regional law firm mfg Solicitors has secured an esteemed ranking in the 2026 Chambers & Partners UK Guide, marking a significant achievement for its Employment and HR Services Department.

The department, headed by Sally Morris, Partner and specialist in employment law, has been ranked Band 4 in this year’s guide, reflecting its growing reputation for excellence, depth of expertise, and commitment to client service. The recognition represents the first time the Employment and HR Services team has been included in the highly regarded Chambers & Partners directory, a publication widely acknowledged as one of the most trusted and authoritative measures of quality within the legal profession.

Recognition of Excellence and Expertise

Chambers & Partners, founded in 1990, independently researches and ranks the world’s leading law firms and practitioners. Its methodology is grounded in detailed interviews, comprehensive analysis, and verified client feedback, making inclusion within the guide a hallmark of professional credibility and distinction.

This year’s guide described mfg Solicitors’ Employment and HR Services team as “pragmatic, forward-thinking and solutions-focused”, with clients commending the department for its “good communication and response rates, and very good service overall.” The feedback also highlighted the firm’s “friendly and proactive” approach, its dedication to agreed timescales, and its cohesive “one-team” ethos in delivering tailored solutions to client needs.

The team provides specialist advice across all areas of employment and HR law, including unfair dismissal, tribunal proceedings, redundancy and restructures, senior exits, settlement agreements, contractual changes, and unlawful wage deductions. Its partners — Chris Piggott, Darryll Thomas, Beverley Smith, and Tim Lang — work collaboratively under Ms Morris’s leadership to ensure clients receive pragmatic, commercially focused, and results-driven advice.

Personal Recognition for Sally Morris

Alongside the department’s success, Sally Morris has been individually recognised in the Chambers & Partners guide for the second consecutive year, reaffirming her standing as one of the region’s leading employment law specialists. Clients described Ms Morris as “responsive and down to earth”, praising her as a trusted advisor who “genuinely cares about the businesses she represents.”

Reflecting on the firm’s latest achievement, Ms Morris said:

“This recognition is testament to the expertise and dedication of everyone across our Employment and HR Services department. Our team consistently delivers pragmatic, commercial, and solutions-focused advice in what is an ever-evolving and fast-changing area of law. The Chambers & Partners ranking reflects the exceptional quality of our collective expertise, our professionalism, and the high standard of service we provide to our clients.

I am immensely proud of what our team continues to accomplish and of the trust our clients place in us every day.”

Earlier this year, Ms Morris was also named a Leading Partner in the 2026 Legal 500 guide, underscoring her consistent recognition across multiple leading legal directories.
