DJB is proud to announce it has been ranked as a leading firm by Chambers UK 2008 for Real Estate and Planning.
Chambers UK describes clients as "full of praise" for DJB's "get-up-and-go" property team, quoting them as saying the firm's lawyers "listen to us, investigate matters fully and raise points that we would not have considered".
Managing Partner Madeleine Davitt is described as "being particularly commended [by clients] for being "proactive, client-focused and friendly"" and is highlighted for taking the time to understand their business.
Partners Tim Sylvester Jones and Stuart Bould also receive praise. Tim is commended for his "leading role...in several complex matters" such as the restoration of the Bushy Park Water Gardens. Stuart is described as being "extremely thorough" and his recent work in relation to a number of significant leasework cases is highlighted.
When speaking of Diane Alison, Head of Planning and Environment, clients are quoted as saying "she takes the trouble to understand our requirements and tailor the service to our needs". Clients are said to appreciate the Planning Team's ""wealth of experience as well as its "up-to-date knowledge of authorities' procedure behind the scenes"", a result of the team's high level of public sector experience.
A range of work is also highlighted, including the first voluntary registration of Cabinet Office properties including 10 Downing Street, the multimillion-pound disposal of Princess Mary Hospital for Defence Estates and PPP/PFI projects undertaken of behalf of the Royal Parks Agency.
