18/11/08 Furley Page - Recognition in Chambers UK

Two lawyers from leading regional law firm Furley Page, which has offices in Kent and Thames Gateway, have been singled out by highly regarded independent national legal guide Chambers UK.

Senior partner Peter Hawkes, whose expertise extends to partnership disputes and arbitration, is listed as “commercially aware, incredibly skilful and a delight to work with”.

Andrew Masters, partner and head of employment, is applauded for his “extremely practical approach” and for providing “sage counsel in tricky situations”.

Recently-published Chambers also commends Furley Page’s debt recovery team – led by Martin Kingman – saying: “It is going from strength to strength, establishing a reputation locally and attracting numerous new clients – from individuals and sole traders to international companies.” This is the first time the firm, ranked in 2007 as one of the best in the south by Chambers and other law guide The Legal 500, has been recommended for this area of its expertise.

Chambers, which describes Furley Page as a “well respected local firm”, has high praise for the employment team and its “ability to adopt the culture of a particular organisation and adapt its advice to meet that culture’s needs”.

The Legal 500 mentions Furley Page in 13 practice areas – notably in agriculture and estates and property litigation; corporate and commercial; and employment.

Peter Hawkes commented: “Despite the current economic downturn it has been a significant year for Furley Page which is continuing to make progress – notably in the expansion of its Chatham teams. Recognition of this kind, particularly by Chambers UK, is testament to the quality of service provided by the firm as a whole.”
