A READING-based law firm is one of the best in the country when it comes to planning.

A new survey by Planning Magazine has placed Blandy & Blandy joint 15th in its annual Planning Law Survey.

The rankings are compiled based on peer-led interviews and research and sees Blandy & Blandy its position with the likes of BDB Pitmans, Gateley and Burges Salmon.

The company says it is one of the highest-rated regional firms in this year’s rankings, traditionally dominated by national and City firms.

Partner Karen Jones said: “Blandy & Blandy is home to one of the most experienced Planning & Environmental Law teams in the region. We pride ourselves on providing significant expertise and an unrivalled service in this specialist area of law.

“We believe that our extensive knowledge of the Thames Valley, our long-term involvement in key projects and our established relationships with other leading professional services firms helps to further set us apart.”

She added: “We work closely with colleagues across our firm, with dedicated expertise in areas including Commercial Property, Dispute Resolution and Venue Licensing.”

Blandy & Blandy is also ranked as a top-tier firm for both Planning and ‘Envrionment’ in the UK’s leading guides to law firms, Chambers UK and The Legal 500, with the latter also recognising Karen Jones as a leading individual in her field.
