Stone King's Chairman Ann Phillips (pictured) said: "We are delighted to again be included in this important legal league table which confirms our position as one of the country's most successful law firms.
“We are recognised for our excellence in charity and education law and have enjoyed sustained growth across our practice areas as demand increases for the specialist legal services we offer to both organisations and individuals.
“We have offices in Bath, Birmingham, Cambridge, Leeds and London, and also specialise in the private client and corporate law sectors.
“Our top three ranking as Best for Charities is a tremendous achievement and is testimony to all the hard work of everyone in the firm."
The Times Best Law Firms 2019 is a collection of the top 200 law firms in England and Wales.
Its research starts with lawyers at rival firms being asked which practice they would instruct, with Stone King scoring highly.
Lawyers were not allowed to recommend their own firms with the guide made up of those who received the most commendations.
Stone King also has another reason to celebrate – it has been ranked in the top tier of the Legal 500 for its education services, and in tier two for the charity sector.
