Recognition in the 2025 edition of Legal 500

Charles Fussell & Co LLP is proud to have been ranked as a Tier 4 firm for Commercial Litigation (Mid-Market) in the 2025 Legal 500 rankings. 

The ranking of Tier 4 is a rise in ranking from the firm’s previous position of Tier 5, which reflects the substantial matters of financial significance and legal importance on which the firm has recently worked. The Legal 500 recognises the firm’s recent work on cases including acting for Hummingbird Resources, JJH Enterprises (trading as ValueLicensing) ‘in securing an important victory against Microsoft at a [strike out] hearing’ and acting for Neil Gerrard in relation to ENRC’s application to commit him for contempt.

Testimonials that the firm’s clients have provided to the Legal 500 include statements that the firm ‘punches way above its weight. It is able to take on the big beasts, despite being relatively small’ and that the firm’s lawyers are ‘a super-dedicated team that is a pleasure to work with. Very highly recommended.’

Individuals at the firm have also been recognised in the Legal 500 for their individual skillsets. Charles Fussell is described as a ‘very experienced and canny litigator’. Simon Winter is recognised as being ‘experienced in disputes involving property, commercial fraud, commercial contracts, shareholders, and professional negligence’, and Jonathan Cohen is ‘clearly trusted, respected and liked by clients’. Elizabeth Stoppelmoor is also praised for being ‘notably experienced in evidence, disclosure and trial preparation.’ Catherine Stockler was recognised in these rankings in her role at her previous firm as acting ‘in civil fraud claims, and contract, shareholder and breach of directors’ duty disputes.’
