We have been ranked as a top-tier firm in six practice areas across our four offices, including Professional Discipline, Clinical Negligence and Public Sector Health.

Hempsons is the only firm with two partners listed on the ‘Leading Individuals: Hall of Fame’ for Public Sector Health.

In Harrogate, we are now ranked in tier 2 (up from 3) for Charities and not-for-profit. The local team is led by associate Helen Hirst who joined in 2018, working in tandem with national head Ian Hempseed, and getting great support from the health and social care advisory and employment teams in servicing charity clients.
