Simon Williams, Partner and Head of Corporate and Commercial at Jolliffes explained; “The Legal 500 is the leading guide to law firms in the UK. We are proud to be highlighted because the Legal 500 is based on independent research and includes feedback from our clients too and that is really important to us. Not only is it a delight to be specifically praised for our services but also at new heights this year for the North West.”
James Harris, Managing Partner added; “It is great recognition not just for those mentioned in the practice but for our clients and everyone we work with around the North West. It is also testament to our continued efforts to recruit and retain the best talent; hard work and dedication pays off. Building on our 150 year old roots in Chester, we are looking forward to a future continued success.”
Jolliffes is listed under Commercial Litigation at top tier 1 level and the listing says; “Jolliffe & Co LLP fields an ‘impressive’ team that delivers ‘great response times’. Team head Andrew Bartley ‘knows his facts and very clearly sets out the options and possible outcomes’. The ‘first-rate’ Peter Anderson and Fiona Blakeborough are also recommended.”
Jolliffes’ North West Commercial Property listing is at tier 2 and says; “The ‘well-resourced and knowledgeable’ department at Jolliffe & Co LLP advised Camel Creek on the purchase of a theme park and assisted Hickory’s Smokehouse with the purchase of The Kingfisher Country Club. James Harris is noted for his ‘team approach’ and Huw Thomas stands out for his ‘very astute legal brain’.”
The Firm’s corporate and commercial listing, again for the whole of the North West, says; “Jolliffe & Co LLP’s ‘professional team’ provides a ‘top-drawer service’. It advised the shareholders of Vannplastic on its £8.5m sale to Epwin Group. The ‘approachable’ Simon Williams heads the team and is noted for his ‘well-rounded and objective advice’.”
The Legal 500 listings cover Manchester, Liverpool and ‘elsewhere in the North West’ and says; “Chester is a hub for high-net-worth clientele”.
