Hull’s Hudgell Solicitors has been included in The Times ‘Best 250 Law Firms’ in England and Wales list four the fourth successive year.
Human rights work has been highlighted for a first time, with the firm the only representative of the Humber region. It outlines how Hudgell has been “at the forefront of what has been described as ‘the biggest miscarriage of justice in British history’,” - the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, as it is placed alongside the country’s legal elite.
The team has helped more than 70 former subpostmasters to clear their names, having been wrongfully prosecuted when accused of theft and false accounting due to a glitch in a computer system.

The listing also cites work representing more than 170 people injured in the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, highlighting ‘packages of support, including dedicated rehabilitation services and financial assistance’ which have been provided.
The accolade follows impressive rankings and testimonials for the work of Hudgells’ legal teams in the leading Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners 2024 legal guides, recently published.
Chief executive Rachel Di Clemente said: “We’re thrilled to be included in this list once again, and to have strengthened our position with the inclusion of the work of our civil liberties department, alongside our personal injury and clinical negligence teams. Over the past month we have seen the achievements of our team extensively recognised by both our clients and by experts in the legal field in a number of independent assessments.
“The Times Best 250 Law Firms list is produced on the back of feedback from lawyers at other legal firms who see our work, understand the complexities and sensitivities of the cases we are involved in, and see how we support our clients to get them the best results. To be recognised by our peers in this way is an impressive reflection of all we do and our teams should be rightfully proud of what they have achieved.”
