FTB REMAINS AS THE ONLY TOP PLANNING, ENVIRONMENTAL AND LICENSING SET IN LEGAL 500

FTB is delighted to see that we have retained and improved our positions in the rankings in the Legal 500 2009 edition in the major fields of planning, environmental and licensing.  We are the only set to achieve this hat-trick; which reinforces one of Chambers' complementary strengths is that we are able to provide what is effectively a ‘one-stop-shop' for those promoting complex and controversial developments.  We also show strongly in administrative and public law, local government, energy and health & safety.

Comments from the directory include:

Administrative and public law: "FTB provides a ‘real can-do approach'".

Environmental Law: "Clients can expect a ‘quality of legal knowledge and advocacy of exceptional standard' from FTB's legal stable, with a deep well of planning and environmental experience available among the set's collection of top tier silks."

Licensing Law: "FTB harbours an ‘excellent' licensing contingent that has successfully built ‘strength in depth' in recent years .... Packaged with ‘highly efficient and courteous' service."

Planning Law: "The ‘excellent' team at FTB is called on to represent clients in high profile matters."
