Towerhouse Consulting is extremely pleased to be recognised by The Legal500 as one of the leading solicitors firms practising telecoms law.

The Legal500 is a definitive 'client's guide' to UK law firms. It is fully independent and is the only such guide to be researched and written by a team of professional legal journalists.

We are easily the smallest, youngest firm to be named in this category and it is hugely gratifying to receive this sort of recognition from an independent source.

We owe a big debt of thanks to our clients - without whom we could not, of course have achieved this accolade - and we look forward to building on the achievement.

"Towerhouse Consulting advises high-profile clients including Verizon and Easynet on the regulation of electronic communications. Managing partner Paul Brisby, an 'outstanding strategic thinker', is recommended."
