Blandy & Blandy ranked among UK’s top planning law firms


Blandy & Blandy LLP has been recognised as one of the UK’s top planning law firms


Planning magazine’s 2017 Planning Law Survey ranks Blandy & Blandy in joint 28th position, in its list of the top 50 firms nationally. The rankings are traditionally dominated by much larger London-based firms, the majority of which operate nationally or internationally. The rankings are compiled based on peer-led interviews and research.


Working closely with planning consultants and other specialist advisers, Blandy & Blandy’s team is regularly instructed by large landowners, developers, investors, financiers, businesses owners and private individuals on all aspects of planning and environmental law.


The team is highly ranked, for both planning and environmental law, in Chambers UK guide and The Legal 500, with the latter also ranking partner and team head Karen Jones as a ‘leading individual’ in her field. In addition, Jones is a member of the Law Society’s planning law panel and the only


legal associate of the Royal Town Planning Institute (LARTPI) in the area. Fellow partner Simon Dimmick is also individually recommended in both legal directories for his significant strategic expertise.


Jones commented: “I am delighted that our team’s commitment to providing our clients with a first-rate service and legal advice that really adds value has been recognised in these important rankings.


“We pride ourselves on providing expertise and advice on a par with much larger, usually London-based, firms and it is our extensive knowledge of the Thames Valley and our relationships with other leading professional firms and key bodies and organisations in the region that sets us apart.”

Firm’s ‘Sell Out’ Mock Employment Tribunal


Blandy & Blandy LLP welcomed a record number of attendees to the firm’s annual Mock Employment Tribunal, held at Reading’s Green Park Conference Centre on March 22


Under a theme of ‘How Protected Are Your Settlement Agreement Discussions?’ the firm’s employment law team, led by partner (and ‘judge’ for the day) Sue Dowling, staged a fictitious preliminary hearing which welcomed 120 HR professionals and business owners.


Dowling said: “Our aim was to present a very pertinent topic in an enjoyable and engaging way, while providing a more general insight into how a tribunal hearing operates for those professionals with limited or no experience of the process.”
