Celebrating Excellence – A Great Year for Aston Knight Solicitors

We are delighted to share two major achievements for the team at Aston Knight Solicitors.

1. Recognition in the Legal 500 Guide 2026 (Personal Injury)

We’ve been ranked in the Legal 500 Guide 2026 in the Personal Injury category. Our team was commended for its “sensitivity and realism in approaching matters.”

– James Winterbottom was singled out as “highly capable and dedicated,” including his work in clinical negligence.

– Andrew Thompson was praised for his specialist expertise in dental law.

As Managing Director Ayoub Khan noted:

“This recognition is a testament to the dedication, skill, and compassion of our entire team… We are immensely proud to see our collective efforts acknowledged in the Legal 500.”

This honour reinforces what we’ve always believed: being true specialists matters. It’s not about being the biggest firm – it’s about being the best for our clients.

2. Recognition in the Chambers & Partners UK Guide 2026


Shortly after, we were thrilled to learn that we have received multiple recognitions in the Chambers & Partners UK Guide 2026.

Highlights include:

– Our firm recognised as specialists in Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence.

– James Winterbottom again recognised individually for his exceptional work in Personal Injury: Mainly Claimant (The North).

One client shared:

“My experience working with Aston Knight Solicitors has been defined by a level of care and client advocacy that far exceeds routine legal diligence.”

Our Managing Director added:

“These accolades reflect everyone’s hard work and dedication… Our goal has never been to be the biggest firm. Instead, we’ve always aimed to be true specialists in our chosen fields – delivering a level of service that inspires client loyalty and recommendations.”

What this means for our clients

• Independent recognition of our expertise, service, and outstanding results.
• Assurance for clients that they’re working with a highly ranked, specialist team.
• A proud moment for our colleagues – and a motivation to keep setting the standard.
