Richard Pollins, Managing Partner at DMH Stallard, said:
‘It is a great achievement to be recognised again by Chambers and is something that we are proud of. The rankings are a welcome reminder of the focus we place on high standards and meeting the needs of our clients and I am pleased to see that Chambers has confirmed that.
For the first time in the UK wide tables our Travel team received a Band 3 ranking, and this demonstrates our commitment to this market now and through the turbulent times it faced during the pandemic. Sarah Naylor, Partner in our Banking team, moved up from Band 3 to Band 2 and new recognition was given to Joanna Potbury, Family team, as an Associate to Watch’.
