DMH Stallard receives glowing industry plaudits
Leading South East law firm DMH Stallard has received another ringing endorsement from Chambers in their latest UK 2022 Guide. Chambers is recognised as the leading authority for ranking the most outstanding law firms and lawyers throughout the world.
The high level results have been hailed as ‘exceptional’, particularly in light of the unprecedented changes in working practices as a consequence of the pandemic.
Eight teams maintained their Band 1 position. They are:
• Banking & Finance
• Clinical Negligence
• Corporate/M&A
• Employment
• Environment
• Family
• Intellectual Property
• Planning
One partner, Tessa Grayson, was newly promoted to top individual ranking, reflecting her outstanding reputation in the field of clinical negligence. She joins Heidi Copland, Gwen Godfrey, Jonathan Grant, Helen Mead, Abigail Owen and Mark Rennie as one of seven partners at DMH Stallard who hold this exclusive status.
Richard Pollins, Managing Partner at DMH Stallard, said:
“Little did we know back in March 2020, that over a year and a half later we would still have the reality of Covid-19 casting a shadow over all of us. Yet, I continue to be impressed by and proud of the exceptional way all my colleagues meet those challenges and ensure our clients receive the highest levels of service and legal advice at all times. The rankings are a welcome and timely reminder of the high standards we set at DMH Stallard, and I’m delighted that Chambers has confirmed that.”
Other notable changes in the rankings include the IT team moving up to Band 2, Chloe Karamian is new in Band 2 for her Environment work and Tim Ashdown and Sarah Naylor in the field of IT are ranked in Band 3.
