National Firm of the Year, and Lawyer of the Year nominations for RWK Goodman at 2026 Bristol Legal Awards.

The firm has been shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year (National) at the 2026 Bristol Legal Awards, highlighting the firm’s focused growth and acceleration over the previous 12 months, particularly in the Bristol and Bath region.

Abigail Ringer, Partner in the Medical Negligence team has also been recognised with a prestigious nomination for Lawyer of the Year. For her work with children and families living with the effects of negligent medical care.

Simon Elliman, Head of Clinical Negligence at RWK Goodman said:

“The team and I could not be more thrilled or proud of Abby. I have been privileged to work with her now for over 10 years and I can honestly say I have rarely seen a more passionate and competent advocate for children and families who have undergone negligent medical care.

“She embodies all the positive values that we aspire to possess at RWK Goodman, and it is only right that someone like Abby receives this public recognition. We cannot wait for the big night!”

The awards recognise the individual and the firms that not only work within the region but operate on a national footprint and demonstrate excellence in the provision of legal services and significant achievements within the previous year.

Paul Daniels, managing partner of RWK Goodman, said: “To have achieved our growth ambitions yet again is highly satisfying, but to have it recognised through a prestigious nomination for National Firm of the Year makes me particularly proud.

“For Abby too this is a wonderful achievement, and one that I can honestly and wholeheartedly say she absolutely deserves. We will all be rooting for her.

“At RWK Goodman we always strive to balance exceptional client care with an open and understanding commitment to our people and our culture. Without our people we have no business, so seeing their hard work recognised so publicly gives me confidence for the future and that we are on the right track.”

RWK Goodman’s Bristol positioning continues to grow and all three of RWK Goodman’s practice divisions – commercial, private, and injury – saw growth across the board in the previous financial year.

Since the beginning of 2026 RWK Goodman in Bristol has promoted or hired 13 new partners, helping the firm achieve record revenue and growth across the previous two financial years.

The nomination is the latest recognition of the firm’s strategic growth and expansion, following its shortlisting for 2026 Firm of the Year at the British Legal Awards.

The winners will be announced on November 5 at a black-tie ceremony held in Bristol City Centre at Delta Hotels by Marriott.
