Wragge & Co LLP has been named one of Europe's top employers by the Financial Times. Ranked 49th, it is the only UK law firm to feature in the FT's 50 best large workplaces in Europe. The annual report sees Wragge & Co join an illustrious list of companies including Microsoft, Google, Cisco, Coca-Cola and SAP.

Wragge & Co also features in the FT's annual 50 best workplaces in the UK, taking its total number of appearances in the list to eight. The firm is one of an elite group of 'laureates' - organisations ranked at least five consecutive times. The other laureates are Admiral Group, American Express, Asda, Bain & Company, Capital One Bank EU, Fishburn Hedges, Morgan Stanley and Timpson.

Senior partner Quentin Poole said: "We are very proud of our continued presence in these highly regarded surveys. I am particularly pleased to see us feature among such impressive company in Europe. Being recognised as a great workplace, where people are motivated to do their best for our clients, shows that technically challenging work, profitability and a supportive, single-team environment can go together if you are committed to delivering all three."

Wragge & Co is a top 25 UK commercial law firm advising international blue-chip companies and major public sector organisations on a full range of legal issues. The firm employs 1,200 people in offices in Birmingham, Brussels, Hong Kong and London. It is the only law firm to feature in both the FT list and the Sunday Times 100 best companies to work for since the surveys began in 2001.
