Tees Law climbs the ranking this year having invested heavily to build its commercial property team, which is led by James Dowson in Saffron Walden and new recruit Sarah Coates in Cambridge, who joined from Penningtons Manches Cooper LLP in late 2023. The local team exhibits 'good depth of expertise' and is sought after by landowners, developers, landlords and tenants. It is also active in renewable energy projects. Senior associate Alex Waples ‘goes the extra mile' and handles commercial and agricultural property transactions. 'Large enough to have a presence small enough to care', note clients.
