Law firm Lodders Solicitors has received a series of commendations in the latest Legal 500, the industry’s guide to the legal profession.
The 2014 edition continues to praise the firm in three specific areas – agriculture and estates, private client and real estate.
Lodders’ private client team, described as “helpful, with excellent technical knowledge”, is rated as Tier 1. The firm has a focus on clients with assets ranging from £5 million to £10 million.
Senior partner Martin Green, partners Stephen Brignull and Helen Rowett are recommended and partner Louise Igoe is noted for her speed of response and sympathetic approach.
Also rated in Tier 1, the agriculture and estates team, headed by David Lodder, is commended as “exceptionally good”, with praise for its “excellent service quality and attention to detail”.
And in another rapidly growing area of the firm’s expertise, the real estate team is rated Tier 2 and Legal 500 notes that Lodders remains active in high value transactions.
Partner Mark Lee advised Gort Properties on its purchase of a £16.5 million property portfolio and acted for Wayland Properties on its sale of three car dealerships. Partner Nick East, who heads the real estate team, is described as “very experienced”.
Managing partner Rod Bird said: “This is a very heartening acknowledgement of our work and experience in depth by our peers and we welcome such positive comments.
“While it is pleasing to see David Lodder, Martin Green, Stephen Brignull, Helen Rowett, Louise Igoe, Mark Lee and Nick East singled out for praise, the challenge now is for others in the firm to step up to the plate.
“Lodders has an exceptional stream of talent on tap and we would hope to see many more of our colleagues recognised in future editions of Legal 500.”
