Our approach combines technical skill with a pragmatic, results-driven mindset. We are proud to be trusted to handle disputes where financial security, business continuity and personal reputation are on the line.” 
 
Chris Guy, Director & Head of Insurance Litigation at RLK, added: 

“This recognition comes at an exciting time for RLK. Earlier this year we opened our new office on Colmore Row, right in the heart of Birmingham’s business district. The move reflects our commitment to attracting top legal talent and strengthening our presence in the city. Coupled with our inclusion in The Legal 500, it highlights both the quality of our work and our long-term investment in Birmingham’s legal market.” 

The recognition follows a period of continued growth for RLK, with the expansion of its litigation, commercial property and family law teams. The firm has built a strong track record in standing firm for clients facing high-stakes disputes, and in delivering strategic outcomes that protect both business and personal interests.
