The firm’s Private Client team retained its top tier position, and the team were praised for their “outstanding service” and described as being “swift, effective and extremely knowledgeable.”

Debenhams Ottaway’s Charities team were noted as being a “local leader” and act for a number of well-known local and national charities, including the St Albans Diocesan Board of Finance and Crohn’s and Colitis UK. The charity team have been recognised for providing “appropriate advice on a timely basis at a reasonable price” and Practice head, Nicholas Turner has been acknowledged for his “practical approach and ability to spot potential problems”.
