LAWYERS from South West law firm Coodes Solicitors’ offices in Launceston, Holsworthy and Liskeard are ranked among the best in the UK.

The new Chambers & Partners 2017 guide, which recommends the best law firms and lawyers from across the UK, lists Coodes Partners, Pam Johns and Richard Pollock, as leaders in their fields, citing their quality service to clients.

The independent guide recommends Coodes for agricultural law, private client work and clinical negligence.

Based in Coodes’ Holsworthy and Launceston offices, Pam Johns is head of the firm’s rural services team, which offers expertise in agricultural property, farming partnerships and renewable energy.

Pam is a fellow of the Agricultural Law Association. Chambers & Partners recommends her for ‘agricultural property work, including tenancy matters and the sale and purchase of farms,’ with clients quoted as saying: “I like Pam Johns, I think she’s great. She’s thorough, she’s fair and she gets the job done.”

Head of wills, probate and trusts, Richard Pollock, practices from the firm’s Liskeard and Launceston offices.

His team brings expertise in trusts, estate planning, asset management and tax advice during estate administration.

Richard has a number of accreditations, including being chair of STEP West of England, a fellow of the Agricultural Law Association and a member of the Court of Protection Panel of Deputies.

Tim Goldburn, a clinical negligence lawyer based in Coodes’ Falmouth office, was also ranked as a leading individual in the guide.

One of the UK’s most respected legal guides, Chambers is based on independent research and client feedback.

Coodes chairman, Peter Lamble, said: “Chambers & Partners is a highly respected and influential independent guide that only includes the UK’s leading lawyers. Being ranked in Chambers confirms Pam Johns, Richard Pollock and Tim Goldburn as leaders in their field.

“Our ranking in the 2017 guide is a fantastic achievement, which reflects the talent of our team and our first-class client service.”
