Coodes recognised by leading legal guide

Coodes Solicitors has been recognised for its expertise in agricultural law and wills, probate and trusts by the prestigious Chambers UK guide. The new 2016 ranking, which includes the best lawyers and law firms from across the UK, cites Coodes Partners Pam Johns and Richard Pollock as leading experts in their fields.

The guide highlights the Rural Services team’s work in agricultural property, partnerships and renewable energy. It recommends Head of the Rural Services team, Pam Johns, for “agricultural property work, including tenancy matters and the sale and purchase of farms.”

Head of Wills, Probate and Trusts, Richard Pollock, is described as being “particularly strong on estate planning for agricultural estates”. The guide highlights his team’s expertise in trusts, estate planning, asset management and tax advice during estate administration.

One of the UK’s most respected legal rankings, Chambers is based on independent research and feedback from clients.

Coodes CEO Gerard Hickie said: “This recognition is testament to the quality of the teams across our growing network of offices. It also shows how much our private and business clients value our support. Being recognised for being outstanding in agriculture and rural affairs as well as private client work reflects our strengths in issues that are particularly important to the South West.”
