18 Years of Growth and Ambition
Since DTM Legal was established, the firm has grown with purpose and ambition—always guided by the values that have been with us from day one: legal excellence, outstanding service and trusted relationships with our clients.
Before the end of 2026, we will celebrate another first: more than 100 colleagues across our Chester and Liverpool offices, reflecting the firm’s progress, the talent and commitment of our people, and the expanding range of legal services we provide.
To cater for this growth in our Liverpool office, we have expanded with additional office space at 4 St Paul’s Square, providing our Residential Property team with room to grow and creating even more opportunity for the future.
Celebrating Another Standout Year in the Legal 500
The celebrations do not stop there. Our birthday follows another outstanding set of results in the Legal 500 UK rankings—recognition that fills us with pride and gives us even more reason to mark the occasion.
DTM Legal is ranked across 14 practice areas, and our Commercial Litigation team has proudly maintained its Top Tier status for the ninth consecutive year.
Across the firm, individual recognition includes an impressive:
- 8 Leading Partners
- 5 Next Generation Partners
- 1 Leading Associate
- 23 Recommended Lawyers
Behind every one of these results is a talented and committed team. Together, our colleagues bring deep expertise, fresh thinking and a shared determination to deliver clear, practical and commercially focused legal advice every day.
We are hugely grateful to everyone who contributed to this year’s research, and to every client and contact who continues to trust and champion our teams. Your support is at the heart of achievements like these.
A Fresh New Website for Our 18th Birthday
And what better way to mark our 18th birthday than by opening the doors to our brand-new website?
Redesigned around our clients’ needs, the new site makes it easier and more enjoyable for existing and prospective clients to find the legal support and information they need.
Visitors can explore our services for businesses and individuals, meet the lawyers who may support them, and discover legal insights, guides, and useful information from teams across the firm.
The new website also puts our clients’ experiences centre stage, proudly showcasing the excellent feedback received by DTM Legal teams and individuals.
Clearer navigation and improved service information will help prospective clients identify the right team, understand how we can support them and get in touch with confidence.
The launch marks an exciting new chapter in DTM Legal’s digital presence. It reflects the scale, expertise and personality of the firm we are proud to be today and the ambition that will carry us forward.
Looking Ahead with Confidence
Much has changed during DTM Legal’s first 18 years, but the heart of our firm remains the same: being a trusted legal partner and delivering legal excellence alongside outstanding service.
Reaching more than 100 colleagues, expanding our Liverpool office, achieving another strong set of Legal 500 rankings and launching our new website all point to one thing: DTM Legal is moving forward with genuine momentum.
Above all, this celebration belongs to the clients, professional contacts and colleagues who have supported DTM Legal throughout the past 18 years. Every relationship, opportunity and shared success has helped shape the firm we are today.
Thank you for being part of our story. We are immensely proud of what we have achieved together, excited by the opportunities ahead and ready to make the next chapter our best yet.
But first, there is cake to cut and turning 18 feels like the perfect excuse for a well-earned trip to the pub. Here’s to everyone who has brought us this far, and to the exciting years ahead!
