Who we are
Chambers 2007, General comments
"Richard Moran leads the team and was instrumental in securing the firm's appointment to a number of client panels. His deal portfolio includes several corporate restructurings and investments and a number of MBOs."
"Robert Rode holds the reins [...]. Eminent members of the local Bar assured us that he "always provides top quality briefs that are thoroughly prepared."
"Solicitor Advocate Robert Rode heads the fraud team [...]and is seen by sources as "the person to turn to there". Of late, he has represented a client charged with conspiracy to defraud creditors and suppliers in a substantial fraudulent trading case."
"The market abounds with praise for the job that "big-time rainmaker" Simon Young has done at [Clarion Solicitors LLP]. A class act in his own right, he is also at the helm of a department rapidly gaining ground in the local market. Included amongst the increase of high value instructions has been ongoing work for Jemella (trading as ghd) over IP infringements, contractual disputes and a multi-million pound shareholder dispute."
"McCormicks is flourishing following a busy year and a flurry of new recruits. Recently appointed head of property, Martin Grange is cultivating a growing development practice, and the newly invigorated team has already been instructed to handle the property portfolio for Wild Bennet Homes. Bellway Homes appointed it to oversee site acquisitions and development and Designer Nails UK and Nidd Vale Motors remain important clients. The department boasts in-depth knowledge of real estate transactions springing from insolvency, and advises several charities on property matters, including the War Memorials Trust and The Duke of Edinburgh's Award."
"Technically strong" David Arundel specialises in transactional insolvency work, including turnarounds and corporate restructurings. Sources endorse his practical and quick service. Roger Hutton is involved almost exclusively in corporate insolvency work; often prior to formal insolvencies. His clients include IPs, Financiers and Secondary Lenders. Clients appreciate his 'hands-on' approach."
"Clive Lawrence also draws plaudits for his football and FA Premier League work."
"Warm and personable" Sara Rogers advises on tax planning and trusts administration for high net worth individuals, and heads up a team specialising in elderly client services. She also has vast experience in Court of Protection work, and is a Member of the Panel of External Receivers appointed by the Court of Protection".
