These figures include judgments naming firms that have since merged into, or been renamed as, Mayer Brown: Rowe & Maw.
Based on judgments published by The National Archives (Find Case Law) in which Mayer Brown is named as solicitors, counted under the firm's current name. The figures are minimums: not every judgment names the solicitors, and a judgment is counted only when we are confident who acted. The selection of cases listed here is limited, and does not include family, criminal or anonymised cases. Firm details include data from the Solicitors Regulation Authority. zoomLaw is independent and not connected with Mayer Brown. Something wrong or missing? Tell us. All law firms.
