Welcome to the latest edition of Regulatory News! It’s been a busy time since our first edition, not least because we hosted our first client seminar, which focused on property risk. Thanks to all those who came to support the event and, for those unable to make it, we’ve included the headlines in this edition of the newsletter. We were also delighted to be recognised again by our clients and our peers in both of the leading independent legal directories; the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, which were published last month. Legal 500 commented: “Pannone has emerged as a specialist in the area of Health and Safety. They have recruited the best from other firms in the marketplace and are now well poised to become a big player. Their attention to detail and strength in depth enables them to provide a comprehensive service to their clients. One to watch for the future.” Thanks to all our wonderful client referees for their feedback!
Thank you for your comments on our first newsletter, issued in September (https://tinyurl.com/wwyqtm8). As always, we really value your opinion so if you have any questions or comments on the newsletter attached, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
