A record number of Foot Anstey lawyers have caught the eye of the researchers working on the Chambers Guide 2012. Thirty of the firm’s lawyers have been listed as "Leaders in their Field" in the new edition published today. The Chambers Guide, widely regarded as the most authoritative guide to the legal profession in the UK, is compiled after detailed research over a six month period including thousands of telephone and face-to-face meetings with clients and other law firms.New "leaders" at the firm this year include Helen Wallwork (Corporate/M&A), Comron Rowe (Pensions), Jonathan Kitchin (Dispute Resolution), Anna Roderick (Charities) and Chris Thorne (Personal Injury: claimant). They join an established list of leaders at Foot Anstey in key practice and sector areas such as Real Estate and Media.The quality of the firm's specialist teams was also recognised in the guide who saw top tier or improved rankings in Corporate/M&A, Employment, Intellectual Property, Charities and Clinical Negligence.Commenting on the findings, John Westwell, Managing Partner at Foot Anstey said: "As a business we are committed to offering our clients specialist high-value advice and to bringing the best talent to the region. It is very pleasing to have this acknowledged by thorough independent research. Since the research took place we have opened a new Bristol office and have recruited 11 specialist partners from leading UK firms so we look forward to further recognition next year."In addition to the new office and high profile recruitments, the firm has undertaken a series of strategic investments during over the past 12 months which include installing market-leading Client Relationship Management software, converting to LLP status and launching its new brand identity.Foot Anstey has bucked the trend in the legal services market by growing steadily during the downturn. The firm offers high-value legal expertise to a discerning client base which includes the likes of: The Eden Project, Halfords, Screwfix and Which? Ltd.Posted by: Stacey
