Law firm Thrings is celebrating the appearance of one its Bath-based partners and its private client team in a prestigious specialist legal publication.
Penelope Munro features in the 2024 edition of Chambers and Partners High Net Worth Guide for the second consecutive year while the private client team is also praised for its work in the sector.
The respected guide differentiates the best professional advisers for international private wealth, providing an objective view by identifying and ranking law firms, lawyers and a range of other professional advisers globally.
Penelope, pictured, is ranked in Band 3, with the publication highlighting her “understanding and empathetic” nature.
With her expertise lying within the areas of private wealth and agriculture, Penelope regularly advises the farming community and landowners on succession, supporting families through intricate estate administration with clarity and sensitivity.
She also works with the personal representatives of estates, including businesses and farms, on tax matters and dealing with HMRC to secure claims for relief.
The private client team is ranked in Band 2 for its work, with the guide calling its advice “first class” and client testimonies describing it as “clear and responsive” and “extremely knowledgeable and efficient”.
The team and Penelope’s recognition in the High Net Worth Guide is the firm’s latest success in the prestigious Chambers and Partners rankings.
The publications have been regarded as a leading source of legal market intelligence for more than 30 years, with over that time a dozen departments and many more individual lawyers included from across the Thrings’ offices.
Meanwhile, Jayne Kemsley, pictured above, a partner in Thrings’ residential property team in its London office, is ranked for the first time in the guide in Band 4, highlighting her “pragmatic” approach with feedback in the rankings including that she is “a joy to work with” and the “number one solicitor of choice for conveyancing”.
Having worked with many of her clients for more than 25 years, Jayne’s practice focuses on acquisitions and disposals of residential property with her reputation for addressing challenges head-on and solving problems with efficiency and empathy a key part of her tailored support for each client’s needs.
Thrings managing partner Simon Holdsworth said: “It is fantastic to see Penelope and the private client team maintain their well-earned place in the Chambers High Net Worth Guide, with Jayne’s first listing this year equally as deserved.
“Both are examples of what dedication to their work should look like, with the feedback in the guide accurately reflecting their reputations as trusted advisers, and this flows very much into the outstanding work of their teams to support clients through complicated and often stressful times.”
