Setfords has been shortlisted for UK Firm of the Year at The Lawyer Awards 2026 – the only platform firm on the category shortlist.
The ten shortlisted firms are: Addleshaw Goddard, Brodies, Hill Dickinson, Macfarlanes, Mills & Reeve, Pinsent Masons, Setfords, Stephenson Harwood, Taylor Wessing and TLT.
The shortlisting follows a standout year for the firm. Setfords topped The Lawyer’s Top 100 for growth in 2025, is the sole UK law firm in the Financial Times’ Europe’s Long-Term Growth Champions index, and reported turnover of £67m in its most recent financial year.
Setfords was named New Law Business of the Year at last year’s The Lawyer Awards and last month passed 15,000 verified Trustpilot reviews at an average rating of 4.9 stars.
Guy and Chris Setford, co-CEOs, said: “When we started Setfords, the platform model was new to the profession. Twenty years on, being the only firm of our kind shortlisted in this category – alongside nine of the biggest names in UK legal services – is a measure of how far the model has come, and of what the team here has built.”
