Lewis Silkin and Freshfields are two very different law firms.
But they now have one thing in common – they won one of the two big awards at The Lawyer Awards 2025 last week.
Now, The Lawyer Podcast is not typically a podcast to gush and coo.
But with Lewis Silkin taking home UK firm of the year this year, and Freshfields winning Transatlantic firm of the year, on this episode, the team wanted to ask what these two firms are getting right.
And the answer is something that The Lawyer always tries to avoid: the C-word. Culture.
The two firms’ cultures, although very different, are creating success, inflecting their strategies, and allowing them to set themselves apart.
Tune into this episode as Catrin and Christian are joined by Richard Simmons (deputy editor UK), Jessica Boak (regional editor), Matt Byrne (director of insight) and Rachel Moloney (deputy editor City) to discuss why Freshfields and Lewis Silkin are the firms of the moment.
