RWK Goodman nominated for National Firm of the Year at 2025 Bristol Legal Awards

The firm has been shortlisted for Law Firm of the Year (National) at the 2025 Bristol Legal Awards, highlighting the firm’s focused growth and acceleration over the previous 12 months, particularly in the Bristol and Bath region.

The award recognises the law 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: “I’m thrilled to see the firm nominated as it’s another strong acknowledgement of our ambitious growth over the last year, particularly within the South West.

“Our focus has been on ensuring that we balance our high level of client care and support with our commitment to our people and culture as they are at the heart of our operations, and it’s rewarding to see this strategic approach recognised in such a manner.”

With offices in both Bath and Bristol, all three of RWK Goodman’s practice divisions – commercial, private, and injury – saw growth across the board in the previous financial year, helping the firm achieve record revenue and growth of more than 26 percent across the previous two financial years.

In addition, the firm’s sector focus in commercial continued to expand, with the firm’s Health & Social Care team reporting a 34% year-on-year increase in revenue, while RWK Goodman’s Bristol office continued its trajectory of rapid growth since its March 2024 opening, recruiting six partners since September 2024.

The nomination is the latest recognition of the firm’s strategic growth and expansion, following its shortlisting for Mid-Market UK Firm of the Year at the 2025 British Legal Awards and winning the Legal Advisor of the Year category at the 2025 EntreConf awards.

The winners will be announced on November 6 at a ceremony held at a black-tie dinner held at the Delta Hotels by Marriott in Bristol City Centre.
