February 27, 2008 - In addition, three of the firm’s lawyers receive individual recognition for their outstanding work; and the firm as a whole is recommended in 14 key practice areas as being exceptional in those fields.
Recently published Chambers UK commends Furley Page LLP saying: “This supportive and cost-aware firm is admired for its partner accessibility. Considered a good provincial practice in east Kent, Furley Page is also developing a commercial base in north Kent and the Thames Gateway.”
Senior partner Peter Hawkes is listed as a notable practitioner for his ‘impressive reputation as head of the firm’s dispute resolution team’. Chambers says: “He excels at explaining complex issues in layman’s terms and projects an aura of authority that is no-nonsense but never unnecessarily confrontational.”
Law guide Legal 500 also recognises Peter’s work in dispute resolution and recommends head of employment Andrew Masters in his field and partner David Hall for property litigation.
Peter Hawkes, Furley Page’s senior partner, said: “It has been an exciting year for Furley Page opening our new offices at Chatham’s historic dockyard to enable our expansion into the Thames Gateway region. Therefore, such excellent recognition in both Chambers UK and Legal 500 highlighting our expertise and growing profile is a credit to the whole firm.”
