We are thrilled to announce that Aptum has risen a tier in this year’s Legal 500 rankings.

Aptum rises a tier in Legal 500 Dispute Resolution: Litigation rankings

Released this morning, the Legal 500 rankings are globally recognised as a leading directory for identifying top-performing law firms. This year, Aptum has been listed alongside several national and international firms.

Top client satisfaction score achieved

The Legal 500’s independent research process, which includes rigorous analysis of recent work and client feedback, has also verified Aptum as one of just three ranked dispute resolution firms in Australia to achieve a top percentile client satisfaction score. Client satisfaction accolades are awarded to law firms who achieve exceptionally high scores for client service and satisfaction in the Legal 500’s annual survey of hundreds of thousands of clients worldwide, including through the Net Promoter Score framework first conceived by Bain & Co.

The following is a quote sourced independently by the Legal 500 research team: “The team were easy to work with, they understood our needs and provided advice to achieve the best outcome for us… What makes them different is probably the way they communicate, we felt connected with them throughout the process; they didn’t overcomplicate things.”

Thank you for your support

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our clients and partners for their ongoing trust and support, and to our talented team for their relentless hard work and dedication. As we continue to strive for excellence, we look forward to building on this success and achieving even greater milestones in the future.
