Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession has recommended 13 Penningtons Solicitors LLP lawyers as 'leaders in their fields'. The guide, which is produced on an annual basis, highlights law firms and outstanding solicitors who are known to have particular expertise in their area of the law.
The 2009 guide, which has just been published, has particularly recommended five partners at Penningtons’ London office. Katrina Wingfield, Geoff Hudson and Helen Kitchen, who are all senior members of Penningtons' professional regulation group, have been recommended for their expertise in professional discipline. Their practice is listed as among the top in the country. Philip Barth has been recognised for business immigration and Peter Howard, from the property department, for real estate. The immigration, private client and real estate teams are listed as among the leading practices in London.
At Penningtons’ Basingstoke office, Alison Appelboam Meadows and Tim Palmer have been recommended for clinical negligence, Franco Bosi and Philip Stephenson have been recognised for corporate finance and Linda Storey for social housing advice. In addition, the clinical negligence, corporate finance, dispute resolution and social housing teams are listed as among the leading practices in the South of England.
At Penningtons’ Godalming office, Philippa Luscombe has been recognised for both clinical negligence and personal injury work while Anthony Whitwell and Martyn Gowar are listed for private client advice. Both the personal injury and private client teams are recognised as among the top in the South while the travel practice is listed as one of the top in the UK.
David Raine, chief executive of Penningtons Solicitors LLP, comments: "The Chambers directory is a highly regarded guide to the legal profession, and we are delighted to have been so highly recommended by it. This shows how the skills of our lawyers are being recognised both on a local and national level."
