The Cambridge office of Mishcon de Reya LLP is the epicentre of its firm-wide landed estates practice, with practice head Rupert Melville-Ross regarded as a leading specialist in transactional matters for international and institutional clients as well as private individuals and family businesses. Clients note that the firm 'provides clear, highly effective legal advice', highlighting Andrew Williamson for agricultural tenancy and estate planning work. Both partners recently handled a £12.5m purchase of farmland for a high-net-worth individual. Managing associate Louise Moore, who is 'always calm under pressure and a safe pair of hands', is just one standout lawyer in a strong junior bench.
