It's that time of year again when the law sector welcomes publication of the annual Legal 500.

The Birmingham Post has teamed up with the city's Law Society and a host of sponsors to look again at the key names in the West Midlands' legal sector.

The Legal 500 supplement looks at areas of law such as corporate, technology, fraud and finance.

In his foreword, Birmingham Law Society president John Hughes praises the region's legal sector and how it can hold its own against London rivals but cautions over the changing landscape.

There are also features on Technology Law Alliance and Sydney Mitchell and profiles of some of the key figureheads working in the legal sector across the region.

The supplement can be read in this week's Birmingham Post and also online here.
