In the 2025 edition of the guide, out today, DRD is ranked for Litigation Support 2025 UK-wide in Band 1, and globally in Band 3. All four of the firm’s Partners attracted individual rankings, with Claire Davidson and Kate Miller in Band 1, and Lawrence Dore and Jon McLeod in Bands 3 and 4 respectively. Senior Associate Viktor Koleda is named in the ‘Associates to Watch’ category.

Commenting on today’s rankings, Founding Partner Claire Davidson said:

“Our clients continue to be enormously supportive of our work to help them in challenging and contentious situations. We appreciate their trust in us which is reflected in our continued high rankings. It is also a pleasure to witness the appreciation of our rising stars.”

Founding Partner Lawrence Dore added:

“With top ranking in litigation PR and crisis communications, and all four partners ranked, DRD provides a one-stop offer for the sharp end of strategic communications support which is hard to match.

“We are especially grateful to the many law firms who continue to refer their clients to us for assistance: it is a huge act of trust and one which we strive to repay by delivering high-quality advisory support.

“We will be building on this recognition by further integrating our contentious offer so that clients can take full advantage of our specialist skills.”
