Scala Ranked as a Leading Provider in the Inaugural Legal 500 Dispute Services Guide 2026

Scala is delighted to have been ranked as a Leading Provider in the inaugural Legal 500 Dispute Services Guide 2026 in the PR & Communications category.

The Legal 500 is a leading, independent guide that evaluates professional services providers worldwide through in‑depth research, client feedback and peer insight. While the guide is best known for ranking law firms and individual lawyers, it now also recognises specialist communications consultancies that support the legal sector with high value litigation PR.

The Guide says “A specialist boutique communications firm in the personal injury and medical negligence space, Scala has operated since 2009, providing strategic PR and marketing support on politically sensitive and publicly scrutinised cases, including major public inquiries, patient safety campaigns and regulatory inquests. The firm also acts on retainer for a number of claimant-side litigation practices. Founder and Managing Director Natalie Rodgers has a specialism in inquests and inquiries. Carly Cotton acts as Client Director and is noted for her capabilities across digital marketing and social media management.”  

Natalie says “This latest recognition comes on the back of our inclusion in the 2025 Chamber & Partners Litigation Support Guide, reflecting our long‑standing expertise in this very niche sector. Our PR work invariably includes a political or public law element, and we work closely with harmed individuals to support them in sharing highly sensitive stories with the media. Our team are at the intersection of justice and awareness building and much of our work brings about awareness  and change, often involving highly emotive circumstances.”

Scala is also the only business in this category that specialises in marketing and PR for personal injury and medical negligence litigation and some of their high profile work that has been recognised by the publication the supporting of the Nottingham Attacks survivors Wayne Birkett and Sharon Miller with their first media interview with the BBC following the 2023 attacks, managing national media interest around the public inquiry and providing on-site support for Wayne Birkett and his solicitor, Greg Almond, during filming for a Channel 4 documentary on the attacks.
